I'm not sure of the part#'s I will call the guy tommorow and get the specifics, the installation was so easy I wish I hadn't paid the guy to do it. I opted for the 55 watts and ran relays if you run 35's which I did to begin with the ecu may get whacky causing "flickers" ( at least with a hi-low kit). For an extra $40 I got the Hi/low so I can use Hi-beams if I ever need them, the entire kit was 110 bucks installed.. And I've never been happier. IMO, the stock bulbs are terrible, it's like driving with gas lamps or candles as headlights. I'll let you know on which kit it is and part #'s.

I agree with stoppey. HID's are the way to go. Here are mine before and after pictures. Same spot both times. Makes a world of difference.55w 8000k BI-Xenon (Hi and Low beams) I just lowered the headlights a little and no one gets pissed lol

Hi guys, I installed HIDs in headlights, fog lights and I have a pair of Hella Optilux 4" HIDs under the windshield and they are great.

Although, I found out that whenever they're on, they make a lot of noise into my CB because of the high voltages the ballasts are running at.

Did any of you have the same problem? In case, how did you solve this issue?

Thanks a lot.

So all I need is the 55w Hi/lo lamps and ballasts? Nothing more? No flickering issues? Just plug and play.
