Thanks for the pictures Vector - confirms my original feeling that 4300k was definitely "blue" enough. Looks great

Good question. I need to reseat the bulb (looks like its only supposed to fit one way) and see if I can take care of that. I didn't refocus the lights either. I may want to adjust based on experience/visibility.

Is there an adjustment screw for the lights? There has to be. I'll do some searching...

My kit from James also came with "warning cancellers." Also, there were little black boxes attached via cable from the balasts. I don't see those in the kit pictured. Similar though.

Nope. Those are just the balasts and whatever is attached. But those are the balasts I installed.

Vector,
Please share your finding regarding the light adjustment with the forum. The light pattern of our C300 HID kit needs some serious adjustment too. Moving the project up and down is unable taking care of the light pattern concern.
Thanks!

the price you paid was $149 for the 35w kit without the error cancelers. We sell the 35 w kit with the error cancelers for $125 plus shipping which would be no more then $15 even if we ship to the east coast. Total price shipped for the 35w with everything you need is $140.

The 55w will cost $145 plus shipping with all the bells and whistles. At most to the door would be $160, compared to the $190 you would have to pay from the competitors.

Please call 877-422-4736 to place your orders.

Since a few people have requested a special price, you can clearly see that our prices are over $40 cheaper, but for the next 10 customers we'll go offer shipping for $5, and $10 for our canadian customers.

James, tell me there is a way to disable my DRLs here in Canada and you've got a customer.

Thanks!

I know this thread is about HID kits, but I do not have the knowledge to install something like this, and I don't want to spend a lot of money to have someone else do it. However, I would like nicer bulbs with the HID look. I read that there are just regular halogen bulbs I can buy that look nicer, but do they reduce visability? I read a bunch of threads, and it seems I need H7 bulbs (maybe from this website:
http://www.autolamps-online.com/halogen/h7.htm

I want a bit of blue so they look more like xenon lights (sorry if I'm hacking up the terminology here). Any suggestions on these bulbs? Are some better than others? Thanks a million.
I belive if I buy these, I can just unscrew that cap and replace the bulb, correct? Also, do I buy the same bulbs for the fog lights? Are they easy to install?

sorry again, but would a 55W kit require error cancelers? and if so, for what reason?
