Yeah. The whole process took about 30 minutes for me as well... I used a wire cutter to clip the tabs right. The guys at Finemotoring.com actually marked on the tabs where to cut, even though I had the webpage up and ready for clipping. LOL Made my life that much easier. Going to test the lights in a few minutes.

I've been using Hella H4 6000K xenon bulbs with excellent results. These are in my MR2, but I have similar ones in the C5 and it looks the same.

I have HID lows and fogs (4300 temp) and the silverstars in the highs. I was thinking about adding HID highs, however the lows and fogs really light up the road and I primarily use my highs only when I flash to pass. I can only imagine how your ACA HID lows and highs light up the road. The fogs still turn off automatically if you hit the highs correct?

There is some law I saw that Radioflyer mentioned in another post that having 6x forward facing lights is illegal. (lows/highs/fogs)
I have Silverstar's in my high beam ACA's and they are horrible. It felt like I turned off my forward facing lights completely when I turned on my high beams.
I am putting in HID high beams in the next few months. I rarely use my high beams anyway but its nice to have if I need them. I have my low beams set up to stay ON when the high beams turn on. I will have no loss of light when I turn on my high beams. Toque
