I converted mine to all red. I hated the red-orange combo. If you like orange I have an extra set, but red looks much better to me.

I use Philips kit, but any H3 HID kit will do the job.
Try to find one that comes with slim ballasts.

Sorry i wasn't clear.
I was asking what do you use when you change the front lens?
Do you use a set of the rear(reds) or is the front different than the rears?

front and rear side marker lamps are basically the same, only differ in lens color. He bought an extra rear set and put them in the front.
