Just to prewarn you your about to get alot of stick for posting up how fast you where going! And the tin of worms that is HIDS  :laugh:

Do a search and you will find loadsss of discussions on them.

In short. If your going to have HIDS make sure they are in Projector headlights! Not very hard to fit yourself. But yeah you do need to take your bumper off. Check out the classifieds people are always selling them.
