+1 I will install tomorrow as well.

Be advised the Phi's/AKalius' problem is not fixed, he is still having problems. Phi's sparkling review was a bit premature as the flickering has come back. I'm sure Phi will chime in to explain.

I'm afraid I spoke a little too soon. I was just glad that the lights seemed to be working and seated. I took my car for a spin to see my lights in motion and this is what happened.

In reverse it did not flicker. Once I started to drive the flickering came back and the bulb that had fitment issues turned off with the other still on. I then turned off the fogs and switched them back on. Both had turned back on and the same thing occurred again. I PM'd energia and I let him know that I will be sending back my kit for testing and to be replaced with a working one. He replied that he thinks its prob the bulb causing the issue, but send back the whole kit anyway and he will send me a new HID setup. Bummer... The lights looked great while I as in park. It was such a tease.

Well, Hopefully by next week I should be up and running with my new HID set.
