The 5th gens use H4 bulbs, so harnesses and the like will be required. Plus, I don't know if those bulbs would even fit into our assemblies.

I'd recommend Hella, Catz, or Philips..... they cost a bit more, but are tried-and-true. The miscellaneous brands, like McCulloch, Hanabi, etc, look fine (I run a McC kit myself) - but the reliability isn't proven. Some have had them crap out within a year, while others have had no problems after 2-3 years. Poke around hidforum.com.

ok, I'm seeing a pattern emerge and I'll save you a lot of trouble.....

So far you've posted a thread on intakes, HIDs, mph v rpm, widest tires... all the newb questions that are answered in the stickies.

Please read the stickies like someone suggested in your intake thread.

to reiterate what the above post said, and what i said in your other threads. read the MOTHER F*(&ING STICKIES or youll probably get banned in a few most posts. quality HID's are expensive, so are projectors for the housing. theres no shortcuts when it comes to quality. i've definately learned that from previous experience. NOW GO READ THE STICKIES FOR AN HOUR OR TWO.
