Pics of my CarLab HID kit installed
As promised, here are pics of my CarLab 6000K HID kit for my fogs as well as my euro impact strip installed by Mark_Cummins a few months ago. I know it may look ghetto with all the zip ties, but I’ll find a way to mount the ballasts and igniters by fabricating my own brackets. For now..this will do.
Ballast mounted on the driver’s side. (looking upward)
Igniter mounted on the driver’s side.
Ballast and igniter mounted on the passenger side. (blue and the black box)

Are you getting any errors stating that a fog light is burnt out? Did you have to install a resistor so that the new HID kit draws the same wattage? I think that the OEM fogs are 55W and the HIDs usually use about 35W. Just curious. I am also interested in knowing the cost and perhaps a link to where you bought these lights.
Also, did you install the "sprintbooster?" How did it work out on the 320 engine?

I haven't purchased the sprintbooster yet since all my time and funds has been focused on snowboarding. I'll probably pick one up soon and give you my review on them. Might even do install pics as well. Will keep you posted

Did you change the bulbs on the driving lamps (the ones inside the regular lamps), they look bright and white, not yellowish like mine... If you did, what bulbs did you use?

Sorry to pull up an old thread but after 7.5 years one side finally went out...I bought another 8k kit from somewhere else but man it just don't compare...I have searched for carlab but can't find them anymore by any chance does anyone know if they exist via different name? Or does anyone know the maker of their product? TIA
