I went to a car show the other day and picked up a set of HID's for my fogs 6000k. They were going cheap for £50 which is around $80 USD. Anyway i was bored today and attempted to fit them myself and it was real easy. Took around 45 minutes because the passanger side takes slightly longer as the washer fluid is in the way. HID's definitely make a difference. Here's a few pics i took in the daylight, mind my dog she just loves getting in the way when im working on my car lol .....

I checked last night....there's no interference with the radio or anything else. Turned out to be a nice cheap mod.
