People often ask me about my favorite modification, and I always tell them it is the xenon headlights. This kit runs a close second though. The look of true bi-xenon lighting is something that cannot be mistaken. So if you already have HID headlights, this is a great supplement. These lights will get you as many looks as any other modification I can think of.

Fit: 8
The fit on these lights is great. If you already have fog lights and are just swapping to these, then the install should be around 1-2 hours. If you have to install new relays and run the additional wires give yourself an extra hour. Note: If you install these on the factory foglight relays and fuses, you may have to swap the 15 amp fuse for a 20 amp fuse.

Finish: 7
There were just a few issues with the finish that I feel needed addressed. One is the bolt holes on the lights themselves is not tapped. This is not a major issue as long as you remember that before you are under the car with everything wired up and wondering why the bolt thread in. Another small issues is the kit did not come with a switch. For my install I was using the OEM switch so it was not an issue, but on a kit of this caliber I would expect a switch to be included.

Performance: 10
These lamps are bright! Their pattern can actually be seen on the road even with the HID headlights on. As for color they look much better next to the headlights than the old yellow fog lamps. Keep in mind though these are driving lamps, not fog lamps. This means their pattern is suited for fast night driving more than driving in inclement weather.

Note: I will publish any issues as they arise.
