Damn......I was hoping to see my HID's in the mail today......but nothing....I will be out of town til Monday now too. I will review them then.....

Another question.....has anyone ever put HID's in their Hellas behind the grill? It is an H3 Bulb which you could get HID kit for! hmmmmm

Yo think the Hella housings will "scatter" more than the stock fog light housings or the headlight housing?

Ive never been flashed at and have driving by many of cops and had a cop drive twords me and told me they are fine. I dont believe this cant see crap and dont really care cause Ive had mine for a year and never been flashed I also do drive with the fogs on as well and still nothing.
