Here is their response:

The D4C HID bulbs are hybrid version of D4S and D4R HID bulbs that can fit both housings.


But does it work? I heard that it doesn't...

Thanks for your reply Terrance.

It does work. They said that the "old" D4C that people were having trouble with were retrofitted D2C bulbs. They have since fixed all the problems with their "new" bulbs.

Therefore, here are some pics:

Thanks.

For your fogs, did you do 6000k or 8000k? Are you gonna match them? I might go for 8000k fog lights.

And yes, I've dodged a couple of goats since I've put them on...

i have 5k for the fogs from our friend "Vendor" Cliff His service is awesome if you have not purchased from him yet!

Its perfect IMO and with the 6k it will be a perfect match for what I am looking for. I am going to order the 6k bulbs tomorrow so I will post some pics for you next weekend so long the bulbs come in!

The HID fogs are well worth the $$ and the lights are awesome at night!
