    I didnt buy any yet, but I want to. I have stock light at the moment. I want to upgrade to some euro smilies. What bulbs do the euro smilies take? and what bulbs do the fogs take?

      What headlights do you have in your car?
      Edit: seen above post. H1's for the lows on euro ellips. And H3 for the fogs.









      And i wish i had something to put another set in. Maybe just go ahead and get a set for the highs?????

        Plastic fogs are H3's. Do you have euro ellipsoids? They're H1, I don't know what the US ellipsoid bulbs are, and if they're the sealed beams you cant change the bulb anyway.

            Thanks man! Yeah I think the US ellip are 9006. The H3 kit you think it will fit into the housing of the fogs?

              huh? The bulb will fit, you'll obviously need to mount the ballast outside behind the valence.

                    I just ordered H1 5k and H3 3k. Do these kits come with the actual bulbs and wiring harness?


                    Edit: I just saw that it comes with the bulbs.

                        Yes, this is a very good deal. These look to be the exact same kits that I have previously purchased from a seller on ebay, and they were around $65 shipped with a one year warranty. Not sure what shipping on these is, but the fact that they have a lifetime warranty would more than cover that.

                        Bad thing is-I ordered another set from the ebay seller just hours before I saw this post a day or so ago...

                          Is the 55w upgrade on the (DDM kit) for the low beams worth the $?

                            Fogs are H3s? Shit, when I called DDM the guy on the phone told me they were H1s. I wonder if he got his shit mixed up, maybe I'll have to send them back.
