Looks great. Some one had tried doing the stock HID/ Led install but had wiring issues. BTW, flipside, not to change the subject but did you freind move the 3rd brakelight? looks like its up top.

Humm..I just installed a lowbeam 6k HID.. I also thinkin about install HID for a fogs as well...but where did you put second ballast on driver side? Got pics?? I need some idea where to put it.
IF you turn a lowbeam and fogs on in same time, is it safe?
When you drivin though in foggie day...can you see well in front of you? I always think that yellow color would be the best...but I can see you installed 6k fogs. Got opinion?

Thx.

Ps. if you gonna take some pic in near future, could you take some pics from your driver seat at nite?
