Smile Lighting Question

I want the ideal set up for my '01. Are my headlights already HID compatible? And are there any other set ups besides the projectors + HID kit for optimum lighting?

Yes your headlights are HID ready. There's great kits all over the place and the projectors with the HID is optimum for our cars

Many. I have vvme in my low beams and an off brand HID system in my fogs. Paid $39.35 shipped for them from eBay and they all work great.

what would be the best temp. for fogs for maximum output? I already know that ~4300 is best for the low beams.



and by the way the vvme site is down, not sure about their reliability...

any temp will be fine hids are way cooler than anys regular lights you just need to make sure the hids arnt so long that they will touch the fogs and burn them

i have heard great things about ddm, however I ran vvme on my car before along with my gf's with no problem.

temp is up to you, I personally like 4300k while my gf runs 5000k or 6000k....the higher the k the bluer the lights.

for $50 bucks on either kit you can't go wrong
