Well just to make things easier. I've yet to take off my bumper for an HID install (and I've changed mine out a few times). So that should ease your worries. As for the spacer order from here and he sends out spacers with the kit. http://www.xenonexpert.com/

David!! Welcome back, my friend!!
I've read that it makes it easier and that the ballasts can then be hidden behind it as well as closer to the headlights.
Where have you mounted yours?

I've been looking at these lately.... http://www.therpmstore.com/product_i...roducts_id=336but have to write and ask if they have the adapters for the stupid Mazda H7's. [:@][:@] Damned adapters. Stupid idea. [:@][:@][:@][:@]

Hmmm. A little steep, perhaps, butnot bad. And if you need them, you need them, right?

Sorry Man, I wasn't trying to accuse you of making money on us,just that $15 for what amounts to 2 small pieces of plastic (worth about .50) is a little steep.
I wouldn't second guess your intentions.I feel I'vegotten to knowyou a little bit these last several days and that your intentions wouldbe nothing short of honorable.

Mind you I have 50w and 35w HID ballast. And survey before you drop the bumper. I'm almost sure you'll be able to install them cleanly.

yea man im learning from you guys specially virgin, so i'd deffenetly not try to take advantage. I don't blame you, i felt like that too, I work at a phone shop, accessories that people buy for their phones like holsters and cases and what not don't cost us no more than 2$ each....stores sell for up to $30.00.... our store on the other hand its $20.00 since me being asst manager i managed to bring prices a bit lower add a little extra heat, but unless i think the customer is trying to be an *** then why not make a little extra cash [8D] Thanks for the link virgin, its a blessing to see pics of the steps being done makes things a lot easier.

No sweat Man....

Operator, You're running HID's in both your low and high beams?? I know you did that projector swap but I was under the (mistaken?) impression that you switched out the 35's in the low beams for that mod?
