Yes, and spend extra for Osram 66240CBI's, it's so worth it

If you want HIDs in these headlights, I HIGHLY recommend just getting an H7 kit. DiodeDynamics sells them and they are the exact same kit as the H11 for our cars minus the bulb and plug-in. If you already have one of their kits, you may just be able to buy the bulbs themselves. In the attached picture, shows the light output of the Diode Dynamics kit'sH11, LEFT - and the H7, RIGHT. The H11 shine extremely dim with bad shaded areas, and seemed fairly unsafe for night driving. Bulb is about as seated properly as it can get. Car is approximately 6' from wall in photo and headlights are NOT aligned yet.

As always, retrofitting proper HID projectors gets you better results and won't blind oncoming drivers, blah blah blah.

Glad you think so. Just stating before the "Do retrofit or GTFO" crowd chime in. Not because I dont care, but because I get it.

Chimmy
The H7 setup is a good idea
Everyone who purchases lights has the right to do whatever they choose, having owned HID equipped vehicles since 2005 I chose HID's for my daughters cars.

I was crucified in early June 2012 for installing HID bulbs into Halogen Projectors with modified squirrel spotters, TRS released their Retro-Quik System a few weeks later and by July they were installed. And now they are in the forum members classified for sale.

When a 10-20 year old pickup truck with 6000k HID bulbs in a reflector housing comes at me, I do the right thing, Launch the 66240 CBI's into high beam and watch the retinas burn.

here be mine... very surprised how easy taking the front bumper apart and whatnot was, helps to have watched a few videos beforehand of the process, but so far love the look of it all

Damnit I cannot for the life of my chose between black or chrome housing for Ultramarine. I see one and love it, see the other and change my mind again...

car looks great @HooverFish

Black looks best one ultramarine. In our opinion. FTW
