    About two weeks ago I installed the hidnation.com H4 BI-XENON HID kit in the 6000K color. I had the 9006 Sylvan halogen bulbs in it but they would burn out in about 6 months so I decided to go to the HID. WOW what a difference. I upgraded to the better slimline ballast for an additional $28.99 and bought the Lifetime Warranty for $19.99. So out the door including shipping and tax it was $164.96. The installation took only about 20 minutes. I was so impressed with the headlights the next day I ordered the HID fog light kit HN-9006 including the slim Ballast 6,000k color and the Lifetime warranty out the door for $101.96. This project was allot more involved since my car did not have fog lights. After two day's on the internet and looking at the service manual I tore into the job. They recommended removing the front bumper and the front grill ( I don't think that was necessary and it was quite time consuming for the first timer). Anyway with out going into the actual process I finished the installation in about 7 hours. (again it could have been reduces by about two hours without removing the front bumper). I ordered the Winjet OEM style fog light kit in clear from turnersdepot.com SKU# WJ30-0107-09 for $75.00 and the OEM lower outer grills with fog lamp holes code 53112-47030 53113-47030 from autopartscheaper.com for another $47.82 including shipping. To protect the fog light lense, I ordered the clear (40 mil fog light covers from lamin-x.com for an additional $14.95 plus shipping and handling.So all in all highly recommended upgrade, I also wired the fog lights so I can turn my headlights off and just run the fog lamps by them self's. Now instead of going thru $50.00 pare of Sylvania bulbs every 6 months, I have 300% more light better looking color and life time warranty. Sorry but this is my first post. Hope it is informative. Daylight at nighttime way coooool..

    Welcome to PriusChat. It's a lot of money to light up your path at night, but hey, drivers like this stuff; just not me. No reason for others not to see you at night rather than pull out in front of you.
