I was wondering if anybody knew a good brand or a good place to buy the conversion kits. I would like to have some on the high beams and get a brighter light. I know there are some real crappy kits out there!

What color temps have you guys gone with and what are good for low beams, high beams and driving/ fog lights? These seem pretty good and have a good warranty.

Go here and get the DDM kits, its the company that makes the Apexcone kits. web page They have all their kits on sale right now, $59 for the 35 watt kits and $85 for the 55 watt kits. I have the 35 watt 6K bulbs in my low beams and driving lights. The 6K's are what I would recommend, not too blue and with those in the low beams you won't ever turn your high beams on again because they are so bright. I know many people that have purchased from these guys and have nothing but good things to say.

I wouldn't go over 5k personally, I run the 4300/4500 (depending on what brand you look at) as that's what's stock on factory hid kits.

I wanted the bluish tint so thats why I got the 6K's. At first I was leaning towards the 8K's but I'm glad I went with these. If you want some blue but not enough to effect the light output then get the 6K's, pure white get the 5K's.

The kits are plug n play. The bulbs are made to go in exactly like the stock ones and the ballast has a plug that goes right into the stock headlight plug. Remove your old bulb, install the new one, connect the 2 wires from the bulb to the ballast, plug the ballast into your stock headlight plug and your done.

For the price you can't beat em. I've got the 35watt kits in both the low beams and fog lights, plenty bright. The foxes use 9004 bulbs so just order those and they will work. SN95's use 9007's I think.

do the 880's work in the fog lights on an sn95? My `97 uses 893/899 bulbs in the fogs and even though I have sylvania ultra's in there they're fucking useless, I can tell because I have them rewired to be on when the key is in run, and I can't see shit at night unless the headlights are on.

So would you guys recomend 35's for low and fog, then 55's for the high beam? and should I get 6k on all of them or maybe something different for the highs? I know I hve a lot of questions, but it'sjust cause I don't know alot about HIDs just yet.
