Thanks for the response to my question, Chris.
Whoops, Travis! ? I only specified H1 type bulb when I bought and received an email from the seller asking for the bulb temperature desired. There was no mention of the wiring type. I'm assuming it has to do with whether there are relays, or not? Hope I get the right one.

If you are installing the ballasts inside the luggage area like the OEM units are you can just get the plugs through the rubber grommet to the inside fender to the headlights without having to cut the grommet. The trick is to get the grommets nice and soft with a hair dryer and then slide a couple of chopsticks in the opening to gently enlarge it. I was able to get the both plug ends through without ripping the grommet. I'm sure there is no problem with the ballasts in the headlight but given how cheap these are and the potential for something to short and overheat I kind of like having them where I can keep an eye on them.

Hey grmnxtc,
I just did my HID conversion upgrade. Your pictures helped me cut through the BS and knock the job out.
Kinda fun, really.
Anyway, I got my PROMAX kit off Ebay for $99.99, including shipping. Looks just like yours.
Can hardly wait for it to get dark outside so I can really try it out (just like when I was a kid at Halloween.)
Thanks again for the great photos, etc.

CarreraX, seller on Ebay is hidsin. His business is United Xenon. Look up Ebay item 120191501786; says $119 but when I went in to buy I was only charged $99.99. Look on his Ebay store and you'll find kit for H-1 bulb. Hope that helps.

Works great! Had to fiddle around a little packing everything into headlight unit to get them to adjust aim properly, but unbelievable improvement over stock headlights.

Yep - I bought these (and a set for my WRX too) - I haven't installed them yet - will do over the holidays but they look good and well packed.
Will report back when done.
