h11 is direct fit with no wires to battery, wires to battery are for the high beam, low beam solenoid that moves the light shield. i have both on my fit, 6000k high/low headlights and 3000k fogs. and coundnt be happier, well maybe a little happier, i went with 3000k for fogs with hopes of removing my yellow laminx, but they look muck yellower with the lamnix. not so yellow at all with out, maybe about as yellow as a holagen bulb, just brighter. so defintly need the yellow film for the deep yellow look.

I have the 6000K bi-xenon and the 4300K fogs on order from George and i will use this DIY when i do the install but i am wondering if the fog light mod that allows the driver to turn the fogs on with either the parking lights or by themselves ever get finished?

Since i will have the front end off of my Fit i figured i might as well complete that mod also but can't find anything finalized on how to do that mod.

Any help would be great!

xenith xenon doesn't have 9006k, but they do carry 10k,I personal don't recommend to get any anything above 8k and from 9k and up is just for show and lose the lighting...

true! 10k is too much. 8k is good enough. i had 8's on my last car and everyone asked if they were 10. i just got my 8k hid kit from azn carbos and i love em. not as blue as my old set up but whiter indeed. and makes the clarity much better! thanks peter. dont forget dibs on your exhaust =)

No problem Mike... give the kit sometime to break in and then they will turn lil more blueish...but not to blue. No worry you got dibs already...So it save me the time to even post it...lol

I'd still like to see pics from further away...

My debate at the moment is between a full on retro or a plug-n-play kit

here some old pictures, but as you can the camera capture the blue hue rather then actually light, causin the mass glare....and If you have the money and time, I say go full retro.....

Thanks for the pics, I was looking for more of the ground coverage than the cutoff after I looked into it more. I had a plug-n-play kit on my accord, and the ground coverage was super shitty

I must have really bad luck because I've had a headlight and foglight bulb burn out. I didn't touch the bulbs and never flip them on/off.

1. pull front off and install HID head and fog
2. pull front off and remove bad HID headlight bulb
3. mail to George
4. get replacement from George (thank you George)
5. pull front off and replace HID headlight
6. pull front off and remove bad foglight bulb
7. mail to George

Now waiting for replacement so I can pull the front off the car for the FIFTH time. I know that there are other ways to access the bulbs, but none that make it easy and ensure that you won't touch the bulbs.
