So I ordered a 5000k HID kit for my fogs but the bulbs look like different colors to me. One looks about 4300k (drivers side) and the other looks 5000k (passenger side)... Tell me what you think.

Yep, definataly a difference, did you make sure the glass was clean and not foggy? I'm not sure if that would effect it or not...I havent done my HID's yet

did you order from HIDextra? I just installed my 10K set for my heads yesterday, and one of my bulbs had brown to yellow stain on it which makes a noticeable yellow line go across my beam, and also my two beams look slightly different in color, but after some talk with HIDextra they sent me another bulb I just have to pay for it now then be reimbursed (I dont agree with that but whatever) when I send the defective one back and pay for shipping back...

(sigh)...HIDextra. I never got my HID's for my headlights straightened out (still flickered with a relay or caps) so I figured I would order fogs and this is what happens. The only kit i have not had a problem with was for my cousins civic.

well I haven't given up on HIDextra just yet, but their return/exchange policies I do not quite agree with but hey its life. Im gonna see how my fog lights turn out..also, I have an 07 myself, and had to install the relay with the kit. I had no issues with mine, no flickering or light out issue (yet anyways) did you follow the diagram she sent? Or you had to ask for it anyways but it is a color diagram and tells you hook this up to this (in numbers)...

Well this kit works just fine, its just the bulbs. I dont know what the deal was with the headlight kit honestly. I got sent 2 relays, and a set of caps to try to make it correct and it just would not happen. Maybe its my truck but that has been discussed already. I may try someone elses HID kit for the headlights though. I never did switch the ballasts but I have no clue if that could have been the problem or not. I will say that the customer service is very good but I just wish that things could have been taken care of the first time around.
