I put a 5000k 55w HID kit in my low beams and fog lights. Only took one pic and its not very good. Cant tell from pic, but its pretty bright...
I also changed the city light to a whiter bulb that i got on ebay. The bulb is not that bright, ill be throwing in some Piaa bright white wedge bulbs soon. I haven't taken a pic of the bulb in there right now, but will soon....

I dont remember the brand name of the kit, but i got it from one of the sponsors of this site James at ACSG? i think that's the company name. He had an end of the year special for HID kits i believe it was $65/kit for 35w and $85 for the 55w. Error Cancellers were $35 each. So around 2 hundred something for both kits... I didnt do the install, Albert at TWS did, headlights are pretty easy, but i heard the fogs are kinda hard. I didnt want to deal with it, so had him do both.. Its so much brighter now...

I wouldn't mind keeping it Dual, but i want to get the CF diffuser. I think the holes for the tips are a little bigger so the single oval tip on each side might look to small. I wouldn't want gaps around it. So ill have to wait until i get the diffuser to decide...
Hope I can make it to the photo shoot before HMS bbq

Thanks, will do...
Thanks.. nah, took it to a small muffler shop near my house. I wasn't too sure i wanted to take it to any muffler shop, but all the places i wanted to do it at were closed already... took the guy 4 hours, this guy was hilarious, i pretty much had to help him out... seriously it wasnt that bad, but the dude was a klutz, kept dropping his tools and so unorganized, he would put a tool down and forgot where he put it...
Thanks, Yes i am satisfied. For what we paid for these i am, if they were $1k or $2k i dont know if i could say the same thing... but again its still early so a better review to come.

sounds like you went to a good ol' pinoy mechanic! glad he got it on without a problem. I remember when Johnny (bigjohnny) put them on, he ran into a bunch of problems with the install...

haha... nah, don't know any pinoy mechanics around here or else i woulda taken it to him. He assured me he's been doing this for 25 years and installed plenty of Headers.... sure.... It was funny though, i had printed out the instructions that were posted on the header thread and gave it to him, but he was like i don't need the directions... 
I ended up reading them to him the whole time he was working... It took awhile, but everything worked out.
