You should also consider getting the 55w LED's for low beam. As easy to install as halogens and much brighter. No ballasts, or relays, or canbus, or cutting dust covers involved.

I agree - I too prefer HIDs but there always seemed to be an issue. So I ordered new dust caps and went to LEDs;

ICBEAMER JDM H11 6000K 30000K CANBUS CREE COB LED KIT Low Beam Fog Light Bulbs White... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KAIY7IW/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_tByoybNSCN8KG

35W. Sure the light doesn't project as far but it's still 100x better than stock and everything fits nicely behind the dust cap.

I've had these in for month and a half (~3k Miles) and no issues. Anyways these are cheap enough you can buy two sets and keep one in the car in case something goes wrong.

Color is preference- I like 6k lows and 4300k fogs. Not too blue and not too yellow.

It's a bit of a pain. Disconnect the hose and pull the filter box out with a good tug. Once you've done it once it's really easy.

It's very simple but the force required to remove the airbox initially can make it seem like you're going to break something but you won't - just make sure you disconnect the rubber flex pipe from the air box and that the two radiator hoses going over are clear before you yank up. Also be careful with the clip that holds in the air sensor. There is also a grey plastic wire guide holding that wire to the airbox that needs to be removed; you should see it as soon as you get the box off the plate which it snaps onto.

Putting the air box back in requires a good amount of force too. You will see the nubs on the airbox and the holes where they have to line up. I like to place the box so that the nubs are close to the holes and then shimmy it around a bit until it feels like it's in place and then I get a stool to push it down with my full weight - you should feel or hear a click.

Hope this helps - good luck!

I don't know if they going to charge you for the project or hourly.
Just make sure to check to shops.
