HID conversion kit.

Mine is in the mail. May be here as soon as tomorrow (friday). I am wondering, for those of you out there who have done the conversion kit, where did you mount the little boxes, I forget what they are called. I just don't want to have to search for a good place, I want them in asap!

Where'd you get an HID conversion kit? Are you replacing your stock Xenon lighting system?

I have stock halogens right now. What this does is makes it so I can put HIDs in.

Yes, I did. I saw what rotary rasp did and they fit perfectly.

I have them installed took some pictures of one xenon, one not, and then some after I was done. I'll post them later. I am VERY happy with the turn out, $70 for the kit, and the 8000K lights.
