Oh and if it looks good now wait till I get my billet grills and do my second "how to"

nah, HID highs arnt worth it, just get a set of good halogens for the highs/fogs

what temp. HID are you getting?

I can't get the HID bulbs into my projectors. The white bracket behind the bulb won't slip into the allowed area of the projectors. HELP!

You mean the little wire that comes off the front of the bulb? The ground wire? You need to carve a small notch into the metal so it will fit.

Oh and it should face the ground! Do not mess up and install it upside down cause it'll look like ass. That little wire leaves a dead spot in the beam of light so don't be surprised, or worried if you have a line in the beam when your done.

No, the base of the HID bulb won't fit into the slot of the low beam.
