Check our numerous recent threads on HIDs should answer a lot of your questions regarding kits, configuration, etc. As for the City/Sidemarker lights I highly recommend AZNOptics LEDs. My first set had a bad LED in it and before I could even blink they had a new set at my door ready for replacement. Excellent lighting products and support.

They both work. V4 are brighter than V3, but also burn hotter. The higher temps are fine for most vehicles, but some older vehicles with electrical surging issues or in the case of w204 where there are two hot bulbs in the same housing, it could tip the nominal heat scale, hitting the solder melting point. V3 burn cooler so you have a larger heat tolerance range and also have our Gel pack to even further encapsulate and insulate heat.

I have a 2003 W211 without Xenon lights. Does anyone have pictures (or direct me to pictures) that show these lights with the LEDs?
I would really like to install these on my car but am a little worried that the non-xenons combined with the LEDs may give my car that cheap-o, aftermarket look that you see on low-ridings Civics in the ghetto.

38mm festoon LEDs @ $20/set. Yes we do.
To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't go LEDs if you're on stock halogens as it'll make your low beams look like crap with how brilliant white your city lights will look. If you're adverse to upgrading to HIDs, you can try whiter halogen bulbs like Philips Diamond Visions. Those are a pretty good match for our units and many are sporting that combo.

No, I agree. Keep them matched don't go white with one and yellow with the other. I have Phillips Diamond Vision headbeams and they almost perfectly match my 6000k HID low beams, 5000k HID fogs, and AZNOptics LED city lights. They're pretty much as bright too, just a higher cutoff with the high beams.

Looks like your GL uses 36mm festoon LEDs. $20/set. Offered in 5000K pure white and 8000K white with a slight bluish hue.
We do have Morimoto Elite H11 HID kits available for fogs. We're getting a shipment of our new H11 Plasma LEDs in this week as well which will be paired with Morimoto external load resistors as a fog light option as well.

Shoot us an email. We've discovered bad quality batches from our manufacturer that have affected several V3 units. This higher rate of failure from defective component wasn't acceptable to us as well. Didn't post in this thread, but we're switching factories to one in South Korea and have been testing a new COB design. Scheduled to complete live user testing end of Feb, then roll out full production.

Additionally, we've gone through all our remaining units and have filtered out the defective units we could find. Due to this though, we're extending warranty on V3 units to 2 years, although shouldn't be necessary because those with the defective unit should appear in a couple months after break in.

I've announced this in a few other threads, but we'll be releasing our new V5 design in the next few weeks. Our V4 wedge had sufficient built in safeguards against power fluctuations and surging, but had issues with heat which is why we discontinued them. Our V5 takes the safeguards from our V4 but pairs it with much cooler COB components. These have been undergoing live testing for the past few months on volunteer vehicles that have exhibited power issues in the past.
