I PM'd a lot of you with the website where I got the wrong kit from. I would hold off until I let you know they fixed it. As of now, they have asked for pictures, my address, and auction numbers numerous times all in separate emails and days apart. So now they have stalled a week. Keep watching for an update..........

I ordered the slim digital ballast kit and they sent me the regular ballasts. they keep emailing me asking for pictures , then they would email me in 2-3 days and ask me my mailing address again. after waiting 2-3 days more, they would ask me these same questions again. It's like ground hog day
. The last email they sent asking me AGAIN my address, I replied that if they ask me again any of the info that they already have that I wanted a refund.That was last night. We'll see what happens next.corvette90 sent me some suggestions on the driving lamp issue. I'm going to try it out in the next few days. I did ground out the high beam wire (green) and the lamps did come on , but if you turn on the high beams, you'll blow a fuse
. I will update this thread once I get my slims so I don't button it all up and have to redo it all again.

thanks for the updates Harry...
You must be real upset with their attitude..
sometimes people in the business use to do that to make time
or cover some stuff.- i hope they answer you OK..
What about HID on the driving lights too ? or too much ?

they do make the kit for the driving lamps too. they make a kit for any kind of bulb now. the light output of the headlights alone to me is enough light. Some of you might just want to spend the extra $$ for aesthetics and make them match.
They emailed me and said that I would get the right ballasts in a few days. I'm expecting them in tomorrow. will update...
garychurchill - thanks for compliments. I think all work done and has step by step pictures to go along should get a sticky. I love pictures

I don't think it would be a hassle. It'll be a plug and play setup just like the headlights. Cars come from factory with HIDs so I don't think it would deter from the turn signals since they would be flashing. -Harry

The only think I don't like is the stock fog light color don't match my HIDs.

i am a little concerned about the heat from HIDs in a plastic housing especially in the fog light area. dont get me wrong, i think it would look badass! but i wonder if even a plastic headlamp housing would get to hot, even tho i would prefer plastic to glass to extend the headlamp motor life. does anybody already run any kind of HIDs in the fog light housing? seems i remember a polo green C4 on this forum had them at one point but they may have been a whole new assembly in that space instead of just a HID bulb. would you please pm me where you got that kit and what lenses/housing you are using. also, if you would link me to where u saw that fog light hid bulb

.. I haven't noticed much heat in any of the lenses that I installed HIDs in. I know the HIDs run only 35 watts after the initial start up too!
