If your looking for just the bulbs check out Ebay, they've got a lot of them on there and they are relatively inexpensive compared to ones you can buy anywhere else and you can still get whatever brightness you want also

I was comtemplating getting hids for the fogs as well. Does a make a considerable difference as compared to the stock fogs?

Make sure to check if it's your ballast first. Found out the hard way and bought some bulbs and later found out it was the ballast. So I got a set of bulbs sitting around.

install was fine but had to splice some wires. Unfortunately they weren't plug and play. Now it seems they are aimed way to low. I have turned what I believe to be the adjustment bolt ( 10mm top of the back of the housing?) and nothing is adjusting- am I turning the right bolt?
