I received my new HID 5000k bulbs today, and installed them right away. Weird thing is the light output is even more yellow than my aging 4300k bulbs, almost as yellow as my stock halogen fogs. What’s up with that?!

Normally we recommend allowing the HID bulbs to settle in which can take about 100 hours of usage. If there is no change after this, please send us an email with your order info and pictures of the color you are getting for us to further review.

Purchase 07/05/17 my kit.

H11 HID Kit | Xtreme HID
[HID Color & Bulb Options:6500K]

I wished I had installed it earlier, I love it! Thanks to the forums to all the advice. I was able to install it leaving the battery in putting the ballast under the fuse box.

On these kits, the small ballasts can be mounted directly to the fender on each side as there is plenty of open space next to batt and on passenger side, etc. Just hold ballast in place, mark with sharpie, drill small hole, use stainless sheet metal screws.
