oh yea, forgot to mention that this has been the only thing that really is "plug and play", i spent more time mounting the ballasts and ignitors than anything else, in fact i would bet that i spent more time cleaning the lens for these pics......lol

Can I ask you what you paid for the setup? I would like to do the same setup, it looks very nice. Also, how big are the ballasts and ignitors? I'm kinda cramped in my bay so I was just curious. Could I hide them behind the grill or headlight?

looks good. to s10blazed. the ballasts are what is big, the ignitors arent too bad. the ballasts are about 8x5 and a little less than 2 inches deep, at least the ones i have seen are (off of an escalade)

yea the ignitors are only about 3" or so in a little square, i'll go take a pic of the ballasts real quick next to a ruler.....and some day pics

Would they mount easily to where the airbag sensors are? How about in the bumper? I'm awaiting pics! :D

normally there are not Dr Pepper cans in my engine bay, but i couldn't find the tape measure at first....so its just there to see the difference in size

thats the link to where i bought them, the 8000ks are $310 i think because the shipping was USPS to AK so i think it was 10 shipping for them....but i would recomemend this brand to anyone thinking of it, danny was very helpful and the customer service is better than just about everywhere else......in alaska most places are difficult to deal with the s10planet store and this guy where great, A+ for the product and service, the product is great, but its the service that makes me recomend them to others and would continue to deal with them, high marks for that

they do have the 10,000k HIDs that i have yet to see, i've personally seen the 6000ks and i have the 8000ks so i can vouch for those....

Thanks for the pics, I appreciate it. I would love a set of lights like that but I didn't realize they were $300. ouch. I have other things I need to spend that on first. They look excellent though!

I would like to have HID's but I am to greedy for speed to spend the money on headlights.I do have Silverstars in my S10 and my TA and I think they are the best halogen bulbs for the money on the market.And I have tried most of them.

i tend to agree with Maximus, i had silverstars in and they are the best thing next to HIDs....and they look close unless they are side by side.......
