Looks like them, says DEPO, but those lenses are strangely opaque. Kinda makes me not trust them.
Look at these...I'm pretty sure these are the right ones. Notice the clear lens on the projector.

so my understanding of this is, the projector basically evens out the light and keeps it from being refleced in unwanted directions, I.E. other drivers eyes.
I'll tell you what, my biggest concern here is 5-0... Lights that are clearly too ******* birght and not shining properly are going to get me pulled over and i cannot afford any more tickets, 4 speeding tickets this year is plenty.

Damn you need to slow down son! I get awesome mileage since I stopped driving like a *******, don't worry about the brightness just aim em down and buy some projector housings when you can afford them. Cops only worry about hondas with purple lights you'll probably be chill.

jeez, and I'm getting major shit from my wife for my ONE ticket a year...
(this year it was a combo of the failed speedometer, AND the GPS app on the iphone lost sat and hung at 65... leaving me clueless ).

yea, I drive worlds slower ever since I had my son (20 months). Yet I got my first speeding ticket after he was born, and have since had 4 (or 5, I lost count). I swear the cops are just trying to bump revinew up!
Anyways, back to the lights... installed them this evening. ****** with that torx shaft and lowered the lights, they are pretty low and seems quite safe for other drivers. But JEEZ, these things have wicked hot spots! thats enough to drive me crazy

hids run cooler than incandescent bulbs. particularly with 35w (which is what you'd want on fogs) you'd be more than OK.

Just got them shipped in today. I'll put them in tomorrow. Hopefully I don't need that harness.

just got my $42 h.i.d's they look good ,,well see
I know but I'm still concerned about melted housings as some people have had issues, also the 55w fogs may be a bit much I already get flashed with my 35w 6000k before the one stopped working.

they aren't working. Imust need the harness
Did you get them for the lows or fogs? With the 880's, you have to insert the little wire tabs into the + and - slots, and if they are reversed they won't work. I managed to do that to both lights last night on install. Work fine now, though, no harness. 55w is brighter then hell in the fogs with no focus. Can't run around all the time like this. But, here's some pics:
Just fogs from driver's seat:
Fogs and lows from driver's seat:
Outside shot. I forgot my tripod and it was -15F, so I didn't hang out outside trying to get the perfect picture....lol
From a driving perspective, they add a lot of light to the equation. I won't drive with them on all the time, as they are just too bright. No heat issues after running them almost 2 hours straight, but then again it was -15F.....lol. It was a bit more of a pain then I thought it'd be accessing the fogs. Had to jack the front end of the truck up. But install was straight-forward.
5000k, theoretically. Since they're 55w it washes most of the color out. They match my 4300k lows pretty darn well. They aren't as uniform, though. There are odd spots, probably from the fog reflector, where they look more blue.
