RE: HID Slim Ballasts
Thanx to all you guys I did mine yesterday. I ordered the slim ballest. I only did the low beam for now I want to see if I have any issues. I got my set for $70 and they work gr8. It took me longer to take off the front fairing than to install them. I did have to adjust the highth of the light so is wont blind oncoming traffic.
One thing I heard was that if you mount your ballest close to your gauges it will mess with them . Is this true?

I did the 6000k, the brightest amount of light output and still has the blue to it. I did it to my Dodge Stratus too, they really are bright. It pisses off other drivers all the time. lol, but I can see so much farther.

Since you did it to your car, I assume you have plenty of wire to go from one end to another, correct?
Any problems with the car installation and is it a snug fit or do you have to modify a little?
