I have yet to find any H4 halogen bulbs that are "really bright". I bought some european H4's, they said 130 watts, but they were really no brighter than stock. I have an HID kit that I have yet to install, If I ever get around to it, I'll let you know.

I'll help you guys. I've been dealing with hids sales and installation for 3yrs+
As for the fogs, if you don't want to run hids, then ur best bet is to get some expensive bulbs like piaa or raybrigs. But the cost of those is about the same price as a hid kit now.
Another way is to get LED bulbs in the size you want. Example 03-05 coupe will use H4 SMD Led bulb. Its not bright but looks koo. Easy installation.

I will try to answer most questions

I also have 2 sets of special order H4 hid bulbs where low beam is 3000k and high beam is halogen. I've been in the hid business long enough to know telescopic H4 goes bad

Also here's a pic of what I am rocking
Bi xenon 6k and 3k low beam (last pic)

Another thing...stay tune while I make a DIY instructions for installing hids on bi-xenon and fogs.
I will be converting the ****ty oem 35w on high/low beam to my 55w ballast with 55w 6 or 8k bulbs.
And a diy for putting hids on fogs

Someone let me know if it exist

It's kinda confusing here. I guess you guys are talking about the 03-05 model. For the 06, the high beam and low beam are really just one bulb(D2S) while the fog light being seperated below.

jumping back into this wayy later haha
in my 05, there is a D2S bulb for the low beams (top fixture) and the H4 fixture does high beam and fog lights.
i upgraded my low beam to ddmtuning 55w 6k hid's, and the light throw is very good, much better than the bulbs i had. getting them in was a slight hack job, but theyre working.
I have fog light fixtures in my bumper down low, running 3k down there now but switching to 5k. im looking to swap HID's into my fog/high beam fixture, mainly because on dark stretches of road out here in the desert at night its very hard to see.

Hey the_coupe, Did you just replace your low beams with an hid bulb and your fog lights with a hid bulb too? Or do you have an hid kit for the fog lights?
