hmmm. only problem is cash flow.
im going to buy a new rt side fog light and bezel, so thats around 150 or so shipped, so that cuts into HID money.
although hidextra.com has them for 59.99 at the moment. better deals or should i grab it?

damn, I didn't realize the set I got for my uncle at $44 shipped a couple weeks back was a trial price. I shoulda picked up a set of fogs! The kit worked great, btw. No complaints from hidextra.com (well, except the price was much better than it is this week).

*edit - I've heard good reviews from this site. Maybe see if hidextra.com (a vendor on here) will price match, or get competitive with the price?

thanks yahu, the prices on ddmtuning.com are great! do you know anything about the reliability/quality of ddm's lights versus hidextra?

Just put yellow tint over the bulb tada you have yellow fogs for pretty much no money and you don't have to change any bulbs

roblaza, did you buy a new wiring harness for the HID's?

cause ddmtuning.com offers a "dual in, dual out" HID harness for 12.50 extra, and i dunno if i would need that or not...

pics might be helpful, if you have them.
