I've received harsh criticism here before, I've never lashed out like you're doing. It's the internet, if you don't like it, don't post. It's very simple.
agreed...never thought of it that way just didnt expect it.

Go with switch backs, you'll need load resistors if you want LED though. Google 3157 switch backs, and you'll see there are some sites with them and all necessary hardware.

Slow your roll.

You stated they were 9007s, which is the factory setup. Which housings do you have? I'd be interested to see a picture of your setup.

I never insulted you... if you can't handle any criticism, then I don't know what to tell you. Look at it from my perspective- I see HUNDREDS of people talking about HIDs that have absolutely no idea what they're doing, and I'm getting sick of the misinformation out there. However, I'm not going to hold your hand and pat you on the back... again, if you can't handle a little criticism about a mod that you ADMIT wasn't a good idea, the internet probably isn't for you.

If you're going to try and call me out for not being professional, you might want to use proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.

Aren't the ballasts for factory setups apart of the housing? I honestly forget.

He could be. I'm still running halogens too. I may do a retrofit one day, to many other things I gotta focus on first.

Yeah I'll be keeping halogens in my headlights. I think I have Philips Xtreme power 9007 bulbs that came with my black housing headlights, I am looking at a Philips Xtreme power 9007 bulb on Google and then mine and it looks very similar.

The bulb was noticeably bigger then stock and it looks dam near pure white in color and from what I hear is that these and/or the Philips Xtreme Vision's are the only halogen bulbs that are the closest to pure white in color, they also increase output much more. Plus it was 55W and I don't think stock bulb is 55W, could be wrong though.

I also like the white and yellow color combination I get with my headlights and 3k HID fogs.

OP What took you so long to figure that out? Something is probably reversed on the passenger side. Double check all the wiring again and make sure everything is correct.
