check out mydepots or flashplus on ebay. they are all the same company and retailers, but vvme. com charges $91 vs $75. they say they are made in Japan, but they ship from China. I have been waiting over a week, and the tracking number they gave me finally shows up as valid on the website - and they are still somewhere in Bejing, China. I'll let u know when I get them. Others from here say that they're good quality. Don't expect good customer service or quick email replys, and use paypal only. good luck.

I just recently purchased 1999.5 about 6 months ago .. i want to install an HID kit for my low beans(i do have the halogen projector headlights) and fogs ..does these kits like vvme and ebayseller cause an error message like check low beam on your dash?

anyone experience HID kits that are either 55w or 50w ... any other makers that people had success with ..

I see that the H7 is the low beams .. what is it fog ?

thanks ...

fogs are also H7, on 99.5+ vehicles.

I have a 99.5 as well, and got the same kit you have. I have no error messages for blown bulbs or anything like that. the only ill-effect I noticed from installing HIDs was my radio reception got a little bit sh*ttier.

nope, no error messages. You will only get a message if you blow the fuse or the bulb, if you blow the fuse most likely you have a bad hidballast.

the fog its H7 also.
