Gonna do the install today too.

Ebay overlays with factory housings/halogen right now. I'll try to remember to do before and after pics. Heard that at first the color might have a hint of green. But after a 15 minute burn-in duration it should good and yellow! Good luck!

Here are a few pics. The first one is without the overlays and the rest are with it.

I did have one problem though. One of the bulbs that I got didnt turn on all the time and the color looked faded When I turned on my fogs I heard a static sound so I know its the bulb thats the problem. When I get the new bulb Ill take night time pictures.

I tried contacting hidextra but the phone number that was on their website was "currently unavailable." I sent them an email but Im not sure when theyre going to respond. Anybody know another way of contacting them?

Well Bob, looks like you beat me to it...my brother called and asked for help on his wife's Camry. Got too busy and looks like the HIDs will have to wait till tomorrow. Big bummer about the bulb issue. I pray I have better luck! Where did you end up mounting the ballasts? Did you also get the wiring harness?

No worries, it looks like your going to have your setup finished before me though lol. And Im not sure, I got my original 8K lows and fogs done at a shop so all I had to do was find the ballasts and take the bulb out. I removed the fender lining by the wheel well and found the ballasts there tied to the inner wall of the bumper. And I dont know if I have a wiring harness.

Post pics after your install!

Well Bob, so far so good with my install. Everything went well with the install, and with the short wiring harness that HIDExtra sent I was still able to manage to get plugged up just right w/o an inch to spare with some connections.

Though the HIDs were definitely greenish during the initial start-up, I do believe they are slowly making their way to a deep, goldish yellow with the overlays on.

Here's a couple pics I took as soon as I cool grab my phone :

Looking good bro. They do start to look green at first but turn yellow after they warm up so no worries. Looking forward to seeing some night pics

Here are some night time pictures! Please excuse the crappy quality, they're from my htc evo shift. These pics dont do them justice! In person the fogs look like a bright, deep golden yellow color that was exactly what I was looking for
