any error free H7 HID kit should be good to go...just pick your color temp...and verify warranty period.

I just got a 5K Morimoto set (from retrofitparts.com). When I have the bulbs installed, I'll let you know how they are if you haven't made your decision by then! Good luck

Thanks guys for your help. What lights do you have on your inner lights, closest to the grille. Obviously they aren't stock. They just bulbs or a whole system like the headlights

Or you could do this, when you see someone new to the forum, just skip their posts and don't waste your time reading.

Or if you just search on the internet you don't even have to join a forum, so y you here?

Or you could have 800+ posts which OBVIOUSLY, by the look at this post, are ALL intelligent and EXTREMELY important to EVERYONE on this forum.

Thank you for your assistance 800+ man!

HID kits are a good way to go. You should also look into getting projector housings for them. I would recommend a 6000k or 8000k for color.
