Just installed them last night... Wow! very cool
Went on a test drive around the block, had 2 honda guys staring at my car trying to figure out what kinda car it was.. and 1 guy highbeamed me... guess he thought I had my hi-beams on Couldn't high beam him back though...
Kinda awkward not having the high beams though, but guess I'll get use to it... does anyone else with HID kit miss the high beams?
Thanks again Hogan!

The kit is $650. Yep, plug and play. Comes with a H4 harness kit. Plugs right into the existing H4 headlight plugs.

Wait, so you don't need to run another wire from the ballast to the battery? Just plug it into the H4 harness?

Sorry for the confusion...
The kit comes with 2 light blubs, 2 starter modules, 2 ballast modules, and wiring. Also included with the price is the H4 harness ( not part of the kit itself, suppose to come sepearate, but is included with the price ) that plugs from the ballast to the exisiting H4 plugs that went into the halogen blubs. Only other wiring is a power and ground. Hope this clarifies things

You are right, Adam. The HID headlights on the new Maxs will require new wiring, HID starter modules and ballasts, and the lense assembly... we are talking 3-4 times the cost of the HID kit I put in... HIDs or S/C???
