Just wanted to update on the hid's. They are working great been a couple months now and the road lights up nice and bright and the lights look amazing. However i did run into the problem of the HID bulbs melting the clear plastic piece on the housing piece. I fixed this by going into it again and just ripping out the clear plastic piece out on the bulb housing piece. Just take some needle nose pliers or even just regular pliers and break that piece off. That way you can just place the bulbs into the housing and place the metal clips on the back nice and tight into the bulb housing.

I'm just wondering if anyone has tried the new SMD LED H7 bulbs?

Bought mine, they are shipping and should have them by saturday

i got the 35W, 5000K H7.
I'd rather have them a bit whiter, not crazy about the 'blue hue'.
