Re: HIDs installed
Thanks guys. The temp is 10000k.
Here is the link to where I got them:
Amazon.com: Xentec HID Conversion Kit H7 10000k Single Beam Xenon (Sky Blue): Automotive
and the yellow fog light bulbs are here:
9006 HB4 55W x2 pcs Low Beam Fog Light Xenon HID Replacement Yellow Bulbs Iu8 | eBay
The HID kit is cheap, but is actually better quility than I expected. The install instructions with this kit however are garbage. I don't know where they got the instructions they sent with mine, but it showed three wires coming from the ballist for power in the wiring diagram, but there were only two wires. Had to just improvise on the install from experience.

Re: HIDs installed
Just bought some on ebay last night..Xentec slim digital ballast- been thinking about it for a while and decided it was time to pull the trigger. Got the 6000K 's - $32.52 shipped. Care to share your wireing experience in a little more detail?

Same vendor I ordered from and received my (5000K) kit without grommets as well....hmmm....
Re: HIDs installed
According to the vendor .. that's the new style.. sux in my books personally. I suggested in emails he update his picture to reflect what you are actually getting. But he is more than happy to work with you if your not satisfied (refund).
I ended up cutting the hole in back of the OEM cap around 1/2" dia. so the bulb plug ends could fit and took some dense, thick, foam rubber and slit each side running them towards the middle for the wires to slide into, then stuffed that into the 1/2" hole. (about a 5/8 dia. foam rubber plug)
Made two small holes below the 1/2" hole for the power lead wires. Go slightly under your wire diameter and with some good ole spit.. lol.. the spades will pass through. Actually managed to get the passenger side without removing anything extra.. practice on the drivers side was well worth it before getting to it. And if you haven't caught it in the threads.. the two wires in the OEM headlight plug are the negative leads. Single wire is positive.

I did see where the Black or NEGATIVE leads on the kit go to the 2-wire side of the OEM plug. And red lead to the single wire on the OEM plug. Just trying to decide whether I should try to force the OEM plug on or try and cut it and feed through....hmm...decisions...
Has anyone had any luck with NOT cutting the OEM cap and just forcing it on? I assume that would be pretty dang water tight...
