I used www.vvme.com (I believe they also have an eBay store) for my fog HID kit and it's phenomenal. I would recommend checking them out.

sharpHID.com. I got mine from them. very nice and thin small digital ballast helps.

GenII projectors are H7 bulbs
Fogs are H11 Bulbs.

Stock headlights are 9007 bulbs.

not sure about other gen projectors

i got my hid headlights and foglights from ddmtuning.com. they are really good quality and i havent experienced any problems yet. i just painted my stock headlights black so i wouldnt know anything about what headlights to get, but if u go the same route i did i would recomend this stuff made by 3m called window weld to seal them back together. it comes in rolls and it works great

my question is when you buy the relay harness, does it come with only one harness per light? do you need to buy one for each side?

Did you order the relay with your raptor kit?

I am looking at HID's and this seems like a great deal. Are you running stock housing?
