Do you find them worth the money spent vs. stock headlights?

100% worth it. None of the pictures give it justice to how much better they are compared to halogens.

Theres 2 types of HIDs, bi xenon and hi/low. Bi xenons are low beam and high beam xenon. There isnt a brighter high beam just the beam gets directed more upwards. They are also a little more expensive... Hi/low is low beam xenon and high beam halogen. Theres 2 seperate bulbs. No extra wiring or anything though. All plug and play.

What kit did you end up getting? I was looking into getting some for mine, but the hidextra site is so very confusing. When I search by vehicle, it says I need 3 different kits. My stock bulbs have High and low built into the same bulb.

The brights on my kit are the standard halogen, but trust me you wont ever use them.

I ordered from hidextra.com as follows

Headlights
-9007 kit WITH CAPACITORS
Fog lights
-9006 kit WITH CAPACITORS

fyi that is for 02-05 years only

The capacitors are what prevent your "Lamp Out" light from coming on, and they eliminate any flicker. They are premade and just clip in between the balast and wiring kit they give you.

It was 100% plug and play.
