Hey man, Nice HiDs!

They're not HiDs... They're Silverstars! They look very nice!

This pic is during daytime, lights look kinda yellow but are actually white.


This one the camera actually captured the whiteness of these lights... Most of the other pics the camera likes to focus and make any light look yellow


Again the light is actually white but the camera focuses weird and gets yellow lol


Next I would like to get the foglights... how hard are the foglights to replace?

not hard,... you remove them by unscrewing the screw where the fog lights are behind the front fascia and pulling the assemblies out, then you can change the bulb,. I used silverstars there too as well as my headlamps.

Not too bad, here's some comparison shots. These are from my old max which I retrofitted HIDs with Phillips ballasts.





Here's a how-to on the foglights

yea, there's a screw underneath the fog light, once unscrewed, u can push forward and they will pop out, take off harness and good to go. Twist the top counterclockwise, you'll see a bulb being held by like a metal spring thats sitting under a plastic piece. Carefully push to the side, lift metal up and the bulb just comes out. Bulb sits on two hinges that are different on each side. Look at new bulb and properly place the right way. Dont worry, this is mad easy, I did it myself and I'm the biggest noob on here.

BTW, Comp VR12's, i had those in my old max. Dam you just brought back memories....
