Can't help you with the bulb size but make sure you aim them down so you don't blind (as bad) on coming drivers. As for the drl's you will probably need to disable them. Pull fuse #15 on the inside under the steering wheel fuse box.

I always get HID kits from them, and I will say this. DO NOT GET ONE FOR UR FIT. I installed them on my Z4 and worked fine because it has seperate hi and low beams and gets own power from the connector. But my Xterra and CR-V both has the same style light bulbs (hi/low together) as Fit and the bad thing is that the bulbs don't really change the brightness when you turn high beams on. It just pushes the bulbs foward so that it changes the posision of the lights. Also if don't becareful with the bulb size (55W ones are like 1" longer), they will be damaged due to not enough rooms. Wiring is pain in the a$$ too. It only gets signal from one connector (so u have to wrap other side with electrical tapes) and you have to wire the main unit (which is HUGE) to the battery (+ & -). I was SO happy with their products until I had to get the Hi/Low combined kit. I'll take a pic of my CR-V and post them here so that u can see what I mean. I know they are good and cheap but go find something else

Sorry for the late reply, it rained so baddly here in Orlando, I couldn't really take pics... Anyway, here's what I was talking about.

(1)The main units.
Has 5 splits. 1 to stock 9003 connector (Doesn't matter which one), 2 to +&- battery, and 2 to sub units for each bulbs. The wires to the battey is really short (maybe 15") so u have to put the main unit very close to the battery.
(2)2 Sub units
The problems of these are just endless. These also have very short wires so the max distance that I can put them from the bulb was about 6"...
(3)Power wires
I didn't need this with my single beam kits


Just showing the stock 9003 connector to the main unit



Showing the other side 9003 connector that's left alone... (Should cover them with electrical tape...)



Showing how big the unit is and how much wires u need to hide...

I say this again, their single beam HID kit is beyond amazing, just plug and play with lots of wires to play with and the bulbs are extremely bright... But the kits with hi and low beam together are really bad when they r put together... Just bad... So save urself that $100 and go find something else.

Sorry but I do this everytime this issue comes up... I see it as my responsibility to warn everyone at least once. Now you can't say nobody warned you



retrofit or stay home.

But then again you live in oakland, home of the whistler tips and bubb rubb.
