not a bit.
Order multiple kits... this will offset the price of shipping. First set I ordered, shipping was $11.XX. I order 2 more sets and the shipping came to $13.XX for both.
Buy large, sell on the street

hey 808mp5, does that mean your current hid's are 55w? if so could you take some pics of your lights on a garage or wall to see how bad the glare is. I searched for pics but no luck on a 55w hid system on a p5.
thanks

Serious. I don't except it to take more than 25 minutes to throw those bad boyz in!

25? i put HIDs in the gf's jeep in 10 mins... and it would have taken half that if one of the headlight retainers wasn't a b*tch to put back in when it popped out.

keep in mind to do it on that vehicle you have to remove the headlights... on a protege, you do not.

took me forever due to the metal retainer thing. i had to clip the bulb plastic corners so it could lock in place
I will find out next week
Well, I put my HID fogs in last nite. To do it you, you WILL need to modify some things.
First, I drilled the hole that is in the light house already bigger to 7/8" for the rubber grommet that come with the new lights (and sealed with goop). I also cut the old wires running into the fog light because the grounding clip needs to stay inside to hold down the bulb.
I also cut the spade terminals off of the HIDS and spliced them with the stock fog light harness. When doing so, the wires need to be connected back asswards... red with black and black with red, dumb I know.
ALSO, because the new bulb is bigger, the lens will NOT screw completely back onto the housing. I went enough so that the screws were in about 3 threads on both sides, then sealed them with some goop.
I wish I would have taken pictures of everything, but I didn't, just wanted to get them on. The 3000k looks great for the fogs, and they don't over power my 5000k low beams. Ill post pictures up later tonght of night shots.

Just installed my HID's and one fire's up for a few seconds then cuts out! The other is fine. I ended up just leaving one HID in my car, and put the stock back in
Any idea's why one HID only fires up for a few seconds, then cuts out. I switched everything around to see if maybe it was the ballast, but its not. Looks like a bad HID bult IMO. Hopefully I can replace it for a new one ASAP!

The fuse wont blow, the light just won't work. When I tested them, I had them wires the way they should be and I didn't get anything. Switched the wires and it worked like a champ.
