hidguy.net has really good quality kits. I'd go with them above all others.

Not to sound like a douche, but why would this get sticky'd, it's like a " Hey, i mounted my ballasts here" thread, not a how to.

I'm thinking the 6000k hids. I want a bright white but not with a blue tint. Just not sure if I want the slim ballasts or the uberslim ballasts for another $20. I'm curious if their regular ones will mount under the rad cover.

edit:

LOL sneaky I didn't notice I double posted. The website has been slooow tonight!

Not sure why we even need a write-up. They just plug into the headlight harness and then wa-la, you have HIDs.
Can't you see the ballasts through the grill opening?

i have always heard good things about the ddm tuning kits. they are cheap and have a lifetime warranty.

Not everyone has clear understanding of how simple it can be. I'm wondering how the balast have held up to the elements considering the location they were installed. I think I would have tried to keep them away from the outside elements. Do they fail inside the engine bay due to the heat?

Nope, I never had a ballast fail due to engine heat. I have 2 cars (a set for the 3rd car is in the mail) with them under the hood and no issues. Mine are tucked away neatly as well.
