lol - wow! Almost 6 years ago!!! The H11 Xtreme HID kit has changed quite a bit since you purchase it (different ballasts, wiring, etc.)... Thanks for taking the time to post up some feedback, and I'm glad to hear/see that you're enjoying the light output - finally

bulbs. When I removed the plastic shrouds to gain access to the bulbs there was no dust cover present
all I did was twist out the old bulbs and twist in the new hid. I never got to use the grommet since there
was no where for it to go.

Xenon Depot new kit
just ordered my kit a couple minutes ago after listening to the wife complain about the halogens for the fourth time. Hoping I don't have to swap the kit out when it goes in for PA safety checks. Stupid government...
Should be here in 2 days, right?

What are the PA safety checks. Your listed in Florida I live in PA I don't know of any issue with HID aftermarket kits that prevent passing state inspections.

Yeah, just moved to Pittsburgh. I meant the state inspections. Florida lets you drive anything. Just worried I'll have to swap the HID's out for the inspection since it's safety gear that's not OEM. Good to know you haven't heard of an issue. Hopefully I can make it look as stock as possible.

I don't think you will have an issue as they generally just test to see if your low beams and high beam works. I guess... where you *may* run into a problem is if the guy testing the vehicle knows that the GX did not come with factory HID lights (and even notices that they are HID).

Kit arrived well packaged, just had to pick it up from FedEx because they wouldn't drop it without a signature. Install was pretty straightforward. Couple of zip ties and Velcro strips later, and everything fired up and worked flawlessly. The components seem well weather sealed, and the light output is easily triple that of the halogens.
I also replaced my freznel projector lenses in my Phaeton with a set of quad HID lamps from Poland that had clear lenses (but I had to swap the beam cutouts for left hand drive).
While those units throw light a little farther, you can't beat the results of this plug and play kit for the price and lack of hassle. Excellent results with minimal investment of time and money. I would definitely recommend this upgrade if you haven't done it yet.
Thanks Steve.
