I have the Hella Micro DE Xenons. I picked them becuase they are DE just like the stock HID's are, and they look very similar to the focusing lens found in the stock Z HID headlights.


Front Shot.


Close Up.


Night Shot.

I got them from some website for 600 plus shipping.

I then had a stock front bumper modded with bevels to house them. They are mounted to the box-channel that runs under the front bumper for crash support.

I'm really happy with them.

i have been doing hid retrofits for few years now. As a friendly advice donÃÕ use hids for fog lights, unless you just want them for looks. Hids lack performance in bad weather. You can get some halogen fog lights, and use yellow bulb covers, which you can purchase, form www.hidtech.com. For more info go to www.hidplanet.com/forums

Those lights look tight, wish I had seen those pics before I did my fogs (behind grill stealth install)

I concur. They are not the correct type of light for fog/bad weather condition driving lights.

But damn they look good =P

I went with HID because I fell in love with the Hella Micro DE Xenons =P

P.S.
Thanks for the compliments Eddie1979!
