    its a big-@ss fuel fuel filter, you'd spill fuel with our without clamps. depressurizing it by taking the fuel pump fuse out only helps make it less messy.

    Glad the PS problem solved it. Dunno about the top up, just check it on occasion, and tighten those hose clamps a bit.

    It won't be philips, but it'll be quite a bit cheaper and lifetime warranty. Been running it over a year in my car, and 2 years in a friends, no issues at all.

    Yeah, I think you can only get smoked new now... I'm thinking about putting a smoke coating on my clear ones... think it might look good with my dark car. Not willing to spend $500 on em tho, but if Santa dropped em under my tree, I sure as hell wouldn't complain!

    Cutting fuel pressure at idle will not harm a motor.

    Well, I've never really "inspected" one, but I do know about the "metal cross" in the highbeam, not sure how they work the lowbeam.

    I think the other HID's will be in the ~$200-250 ballpark, full warranty, whatever color temp you want.

    No photoshop here at work, can't help you on that one.

    There will always be cheaper kits, but after a point you sacrifice too much quality and it's no longer worth it. I've found these kits to be great quality for the price, and carry a lifetime warranty that's actually backed up by a good company. I've had friends that needed ballasts replaced, and had no problem obtaining a new one.

    My bolt was nto rusted but somehow we had a bitch of a time getting it off with 3 guys + myself. Then the fuel started to pour it was . When I started the car the lack of fuel in the system caused the engine to run VERY rough for about 5 minutes it seemed, I thought I was out of gas, because it seemed liek alot came out, and I was almost empty. Scary lol
