Bought the kit June of 2005 from a friend who has a car shop, $600. Had to get help with the installation because all the instructions were in Japanese only hahah.

Ohhh hahaha, Did you need to cut or modified it to fit?

Yah there was some modifcations required. The plastic "caps" that screw onto the back of the light housing had to have holes drilled in them to allow for the new wires to come through. There is rubber stoppers put into the holes so that only the wires fit through snugly and not any water or dirt. Also there was not enough current on the DRL headlight setting to turn on the HIDs properly, so a relay was wired to the parking lights that draws power directly from the battery to power the HIDs. So now I don't have DRL anymore, my lights are either all on or all off. I actually like this setup better because I don't have to waste the expensive HIDs in the daytime when you can't really see them.
