ahhh I see. All good! I never use the foggies anyway, even if there is fog. They're terrible lolol. The retrofit DEPOs do the job of headlights, foggies, and thensome :^_^:

The satisfaction of getting a retrofit all put together yourself: PRICELESS.

Go for it! Depo headlights were NEVER this cheap! I got my first set back in '06 for $350! Everything is pretty much drop-in and roll with the E55 bixenons. If you have any questioins, there are several that lurk the forums that can give you advice. Good luck!
I ordered those parts that you advised, and while I'm waiting I just started to wonder...I keep reading that we need new Hella Ballasts? The site that sells the e55 projectors doesn't seem to sell hella ballasts either. Is there a recommended place to get it online, or would most auto shops (or dealer) have them?

You don't need to get Hella ballasts, per se; you will need a pair, however. As for me, I used a set of Matsushi-ta ballasts which are good as well. They come out of Infinitis, Nissans, Subaru's. Pretty much any Japanese automaker that has the HID option. Bottom line is you want a set of ballasts that will last you a long time to come that are waterproof. Good luck!
