You can pay out ur butt for some with a 1 year warranty. Or get some that are half the price with the same warranty.

Murderout has a good pint there....

Any HIDs are better than the stock halogen bulbs...

I got mines from www.vvme.com for a reasonable price too. This is low and fogs with 8000Ks . I hope this helps you.

Re: which HID do u recommend?

i think either 6000K or 8000K look the best. its personal preference however...

i have both 8000K in my headlights & my fog lights...

mrplease, do your fog lights look alot blue-er than your headlights? because mine do. you think thats because the headlights have projectors or whatever and the fogs dont?

Re: which HID do u recommend?

mine look exactly the same. maybe its because i have the wildwhl fog light lenses installed and you have the thick stock difussed lenses on yours. thats the only thing i can think of...

Re: which HID do u recommend?

Here are some pics of my HID's. I have stock HID's in the low beams and the Xentec 6000k kit from HID4U in the fog lights. You can see they don't match that well, but look great while driving.
