Hey heys! So I have been looking to change out my headlights to the "Xenon ones" OEM but they are about $500 each! So, what is a good way to get this look? I have seen some where you have to mount a ballast and all that, is this the ONLY way to achieve this? If so, what do I do? Go with kit already that includes everything or buy seperate? Also for fogs what can I do?

You need ballasts for HIDs. The link I provided includes everything you need and they're the best aftermarket kits out with impeccable customer service.

7th gens come with halogens or HIDs depending on the package. easiest way to add HIDs to a non-HID car is get an HID kit and a relay harness to wire it up.

I just bought a pair of Sylvania ZXE H11's for my fog lights. They're supposed to have a "HID look" even though they're xenon filled. They had them at Autozone for $65.99. I found them on eBay for $39.95 with free shipping. I watched a video on them from a car enthusiasts tv show who said they all would recommend them. I guess I'll find out when I get them in the mail soon.

Why do people try and cheap out on the upgrades on their cars? That is half the price you could have paid for a quality kit? Sylvania bulbs suck by the way.

I think the answer is in your post.

I've had nothing but good luck with Sylvania. They're fog lights. They're not important enough for me to spend $150 for a HID kit. I'd rather spend $40 and them be close enough. Anything is better than the yellow looking stock bulbs.
