I am running Hella H4 conv kit and love em. Here's a link to them

I pay $39 a set for my HIDs and that includes ballasts. I don't have the ballasts mounted or anything they just kinda fell into place and don't move lol. I have had no problems with them. I don't have any upgraded wiring harnesses or anything like that. Any more questions lemme know.

My 8ks are ice blueish. With the LED light bar it compliments them perfect. Here's a night shot but pictures don't do it justice as we all know

Either way it's a hell of a lot better than standard OEM headlights
