I sent their POS kit back, it had no instructions, weird wires, no instructions, came in a white box with no logos or anything..DO NOT USE HIDEXTRA, now I have to use pay pal t get my money back. IM just doing some Diamond Vision H7's and forgetting about it.

I know previously on this thread someone recommended DDM Tuning, but it was said they didn't have a slim kit. Well, I'll let you know how it works out as it does look like they have a slim kit, and my order is in. $75 shipped. Spoke with tech support and they said since I'm not running a bunch of amps for my aftermarket stereo (read I don't have a massive sound system) I didn't need the extra wiring harness. Confirmed plug and play, and should get in early next week.
Oh, and they have a bunch of install downloads available on their site in pdf (of course pulled the H7 one).

The HID kit with error eliminator just came in. Install in a few hours after work. Fingers crossed this works as displayed.

Installed with no issues, no codes, and plug-in-play. Had to modify the additional bracket to get it to hold when twisting the bulb in, but other than that it was simple.

Looks great. I might go for this setup myself. What bulbs are you using in your parking lights? I'm tired of looking at those yellow bulbs next to my bi-xenon HIDs. Thanks.

Parking lights are LED's that you can get from AZN Optics here on the forum.

i am looking to do this... did you just use their kit for your headlights or for the fogs too as it looks like on their site you can use them for both?

I did this for my headlights, didn't try it for the fogs though I think you are right the bulbs are the same. For the fogs I just went with Phillips Diamond Vision.

how did you get this connector to fit through the 7/8th hole they tell you to drill in the dust cap?
