Anyone with HID's on their GE8?

Looking to see if anyone is running HID's in their GE8? If so what color and Low/Hi kit or just Low?

How about the Fog lights? I'm thinking 3000k Fog lights with 9000k Hi/Low main beams.

I'm planning to order a Xenon Visions HID kit in 8000K. I have PIAA Plasma Ion bulbs for my fog lights.

yes they are, i got my kit for 58 bucks shipped, they work perfect and ive bought about 20 kits from them for other cars and they have worked perfect everytime and never had any problems, you can see what they look like in my sig, i love them and will never go back, i bought a pair of 8000k replacement bulbs just incase and i ended up changing them back to 6000k bec of the lost of light output, so in other words its worth trying the inexpensive kits, i did and i love em!

im rocking the xentecs slim kit just low in 5000k, also bought from ebay. So far its been great. i think the fit's headlights take hid kits rather well, at least better then other cars i've seen

Your GE8 is sick! Super clean. So your highs and DRLs don't work anymore right?

I'd opt for a bi-xenon kit.

Ah I see... Yeah, I was the dark Filipino in the grey jacket. Sorry about that. We were dying hungry so we left. You should come out to the 714 Meet one time. It's about 10 minutes away from Shin Shen Gumi. If you need any parts, hit me up.

I don't work with Note AKA Ghettoboy, but you can PM him for more info. I get all my parts from a friend. He owns a race shop in Temple City.
