After wrestling with HID install I COMPLETELY agree removing the headlight assy is the best way to go - and bloodless maybe????

My LED bulbs - with the exception of the Philips Daylight 8 - were purchased at "The Bay". For these I only dealt with "USA sellers" because I didn't want to ship something halfway across the world if I got a dud, which I did with the foglights. Dealer fired off a replacement before I ever got the bad bulb in the mail to send back. No problems since (a couple months now). Fog lights came with plug and play resistors which get fry-an-egg-HOT!!! I used a little left over Thermal paste from a computer CPU upgrade and clipped the flat side of the resistor against a sheet metal bracket above the foglights inside the fender well. I used a big spring clip - aka "bulldog clip" because I couldn't get a drill in there to mount with screws without taking the fender well liner out (a future project?)

Here's the fog lights: search for 1 set 9006 HB4 Fog CREE LED Hi Power Projector bulbs. You'll come across two different types, one has a lens on the front, the other doesn't. I got the ones with the lens because I didn't see the other kind until after I ordered. Because there's a bulb shield in the fog light housing the "projector lens" does nothing as it shines into the back of the shield.

For the eyebrow light search for: 2X WHITE 10-LED 5630 SMD CANBUS T10 194 168 912 921 W5W PROJECTOR LENS BULBS. Now the lens on the front of these is nice because it really throws light out to the front while the side chips illuminate the corner of the headlight reflector.

Photos - albeit kinda crappy - are in an album titled: LED foglight, eyebrow light, DLR (shoulda' been DRL) upgrade. I put the stock eyebrow bulb in the driver's side headlight for context. Of course the camera does a lousy job of showing actual brightness but in the case of both LED upgrades they are brighter than stock bulbs.

My biggest fear is as time goes by more and more people are upgrading to aftermarket HIDs and LEDs and at some point police - State Patrol mostly, will start cracking down on non-DOL approved lights - especially on Red 2 door sports cars :^) I'm not so worried about my HIDs because of the Crossfire's projector headlights. They don't look any different than a lot of factory HIDs in higher end SUVs, sport coupes and sedans. I have noticed more of these have pretty bright LED DRLs on them now. Even the new Prius has a very bright LED in the lower bumper so maybe I'll blend right in. Yeah, I'm a little paranoid. . . well not ME, it's the other voices in my head that are paranoid.
