Before you order anything else you ought to look into LED projectors. You can have high and low beam without all the extra wiring. A LED projector will fit just like your xenox projector does. I changed mine over to LEDs and the output is better than my factory xenon or my retro fit projector xenons.

I never use the fogs but I converted the housing to accommodate a set of ebay motorcycle projectors.

Thanks! I figure when I do the headlights, I might as well address the fogs as well as it will help the overall look.

Let there be LIGHT!

I finally got my shrouds from the Retrofit Source, and the H7 LED replacements.

Voila. These xenons really update the car for sure. I sprayed the plastic bezels seal gray from the underside, and sprayed the "tin" shrouds for the fogs satin black.

Now to pick up some sealant...re-glue and Bob's your uncle done.

Total costs...$@ $125 CAN for the xenons/ballusts/bulbs, $60 CAN for the shrouds, $70 for the H7 LEDs - all including shipping.

Sweet success, everything works like a charm.
