How did you mount your ballasts. E_K suggested that I get 55W ballasts and bulbs if I wanted mine to be brighter. If they mount in the OEM location I might consider it.

Only thing is if you do a bixenon down low you will need another hid kit to power the top as it can only be used as a fog due to the bcm controlling the power and no way to bypass it unless you spend more money. If you just do a s2k up top you will just need that and the shroud along with the bulbs
If that said, I will just shop for a s2k projector and hit u up when I get them.

The problem with tryin to use the bixenon as a fog/hi is that when you hit the hi beam the bcm tell the fog to turn off. The fog powers the ballast and the hi just powers the solenoid to raise the cutoff so when u turn on hi the cutoff will move but power for ballast will shut off. Only option around that is to get the fog module from kptechnologies to give independent control of power for fog

I have the slim 35w ballast from ddm tuning powering my drls. Its so small tha I have it ziptied to the oem ballast and it fits in the headlight mount hole perfect. Any thicker and it wouldn't work. I have my s2k up top as my low beam. My lower bixenon is my drl and I have a switch inside that is powered when the ignition is on.

If it was me and ur not worried bout using a bixenon down low would b to put the q45 like jamesondale has and depending on ur bumper throw a set aftermarket projectors in the bumper wit hids for the fogs. That would give u six projectors wit hids. That's my plan if I go wit the nismo replica or rookie front

19x8.5 all around w/ 10mm spacer on the rear.
Since I am not worried about the fog/hi feature, I may just do TSX projectors on botton and the Lexus w/TSX-R lense up top to have quads. Thoughts?
Would just the two projector sets and 2 sets of shrouds. What does GSedan have up top??

Driver side is strapped to my oem, same way and not moving.
I have S2k up top and TL down low. The TL on the bottom is my low beam and high beam, and the S2k up top is wired to my fogs. However, the couple times I drove at night, I just have all 4 on. So it really doesn't matter how I wired it, I'd have all 4 on anyway. I still wanted to retain my high beams, just because its a feature I'd like to retain when driving through the mountains or just warning/signaling people still
