You can only have 1 for each, since the low beam and high beam bulbs are different.

People will generally recommend not to get HID for high beams.

Low beam, I just installed my Xenondepot H11 6000k kit from kbcarstuff with promo code "TN" for an extra $25 off, came to $84.99 shipped in 4 days.

Would definitely recommend!

Our low-beam HID conversion kit is plug and play on the FR-S and comes with a heavy duty waterproof relay



I recommend 6000K for the cleanest looking white

I would recommend The Retrofit Source. They are OEM (and better) quality source for projectors, ballasts, etc. DDM-Tuning is borderline garbage. Go with 4300k-5000k for proper color. Past that is blue tint, and hence reduced brightness.

And please, PLEASE, do it properly.. so many improper lighting installs on cars these days make for so many safety issues.

I wouldn't say it's a good kit, but I bought a DDM Tuning kit because it was cheap as hell.


Got the kit in March and haven't had any problems at all so far.


When they do go out I'll most likely spend the extra $ and get the Diode Dynamics kit.
