Ahh, that's right. I had seen a 4th gen Silver on Valleydale Road one day and it had HID's for lows and fogs.
If I got the 5000's for my lows and fogs will I need a relay harness? I also have a 2003 and would rather get it right the first time around.

I've got the 55w 5000k hid kit in my Volvo v70 1998 wagon. Very easy to connect . Mine are from SharpHid but they are the same as the Ddmtuning but their bulbs are lifetime guaranteed, whereas DDMs are not. my kit was $59. I'm seriously thinking to do my low beam and maybe fogs on my 2008 4tr. As for longevity no probs with my bulbs. Had them in for 18 months so
Ark_Swamp. Nice note on your experience.
Cheers Mojav

don't see why you would need a harness i went strictly plug and play with the kits i bought and have had no problems whatsoever, some say the harnesses are good to prevent flickering and i can see that but I have yet to have a problem with flickering on mine. Hope this helps.

Definitely YES. I went with Extreme HID in 5000k from www.kbcarstuff.com. Huge improvement over OEM.

The pattern isn't near as bad as I expected with them. Mine still cut off pretty well, all the light is focused straight ahead. Not bad at all IMO. No, it's nothing like with true projectors, but well worth the money for the upgrade. Here's a pic of my 5000k low beams.

My Xenon Depot 4300 Philips HID kit is awesome. I love the lights and would ultimately like to get projectors. Definitely a great mod to do.

Can you do the kit and get projectors later? You aren't repurchasing or wasting money right?

Most are using 35w due to the smaller fog lamp housing... the 55w bulbs might generate too much heat.
