that looks kind of sketchy.

From what I have heard, don't get the HID's for 4th gens unless you are going to get the projector style headlights. With the retro fitting ones, the beam pattern is scattered too much, and by the time you get them aimed low enough to not get flashed by everyone, you have not much light left to benefit from the hid's.
Just the general consensus that I have heard from people.

I would suggest to do the 9004 to 9007 conversion that people have been talking about. There is a thread on the first couple of pages on how to do it. It adds at least 10 more watts, and you can use the better 9007 bulbs. This is make to work with your headlight housings right now, and the beam pattern is much better, without being scattered.

i have a 9004 kit and i love it....i have never seen a 9007 kit, but an hid bulb with not give you 10 extra watts cause all hids run at 35 watts, exept for some of the new ones that run higher.

i am just curious where you found the kit for the 9004, custommaxima.com doesn't seem to carry them anymore. also a good price on them would help a lot.

If you would have found the thread I was referring to and read it, you would know that it is not an HID kit. It is regular halogen, but it is higher wattage. With the 9007's, you get better beam pattern and light output.
