    I need a new HID bulb I was wondering if it matters if I get it from the same place I got my kit from? I bought the kit on ebay and don't remember the seller. I know I need a 9007 10,000K bulb but is there a difference in wattage at all? I want to make sure it looks the same as the other one. I have never replaced my HID bulb so I am not sure what to look for???

    Also, does anyone know how to remove the fog lights? I want to tint them...

    Any hid bulb will be fine, just be sure it's the correct size, and temperature you want.

    Best thing I can say for removing the fog light is jack it up and get under there, you'll figure it out.

    I recommend replacing both bulbs. Bulbs from different manufacturers, or even different batches from the same manufacturer, can have slightly different colors. Also, HID bulbs colorshift (become bluer and lose output) over time, so the chances of a new bulb matching your old bulb are pretty slim.

    To remove the fog lights: There are two 10mm nuts behind the foglights located on each side towards the top of the foglight (about 10 and 2 on a clock). You'll need to remove a plastic tip from the bolt first, and use a deep socket. They're pretty easy to find by feel once you know what to look for.

    Is it possible to get new bulbs that work as high and low beam or is that dependent on the kit I have?

    Make sure you check your ballast. Unplug the GOOD bulb and plung in the BAD bulb to check if it is the ballast. I have had the same problem and it was the ballast NOT the bulb.
