Go here http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...lacementGuide/ for your bulb replacements needs. The IS F Fogs should be H11 55W. I just received my 8000k MobileHID kit.. will install them this weekend, can't wait!

Looks like you have some sort of adapter to plug into the stock harness and then into the Luminics???? Can you give us part numbers for the bulbs and the plug harness? Also, did you get ultra white? Blue?

Yea, I'm also curious as to what that adaptor is.. I just got my kit and it has much more than a little adaptor.

Its an IPF wiring harness:
- High grade wire harness for vehicles upgraded with high power halogen headlight bulb.
- 12GA wires

I bought it because they recommend using it with the luminics H11 Ultra White.Check racinglab.com.Some bulbs don't need it.I think its just so the oem wires dont get hot enough and melt.maybe you can use the bulbs even w/o it but I don't want to take a chance.

I wanted to do H.I.D but already bought the lumincs,Im very satisfied with it,its very very close to the stock hids in color......plus i dont have to worry about mounting the ballast.
The fog housing is non projector,so if you put hids won't that blind on coming cars?
