I did a how to article a while back that you can check out: http://roadstarclinic.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,187/func,view/id,426907/catid,61/ I love my HID setup and I get 2 light kits with lifetime warranty for $45.

Are they high and low beam kits? What ratings (8000k-10000k)?

Hey Phil it turned up today,looks good.Yes it's low/high beam & the balast is pretty small so should be easy 2 hide on the headlight bracket.I'll be putting it on the weekend so i'll let u know how good it is.The seller on ebay.com is psychomotogear
