Any suggestion on a good set of HID headlights and fog lights?

I got mine on eBay.

Have a Bi-Xeon kit, HID lo beams and HID hi beams. Four ballasts.

Nothing moves.....

Any H1 HID kit will work for the foglights, though you will have to modify the foglight sockets to make themwork.

Is there any error codes for installing HID's in the MM? Other than the kit, is there anything else needed? I didn't know these kits have gotten so cheap. Last I checked they were over $200

Yes, but all you do to fix that is pull the check engine bulb

Uh no. lol

Error code eliminators are for Euro vehicles that actually have a sensor that detects when a bulb is out and alerts the driver.

The MM doesn't need the the HID Harness, Error code eliminator or Adapter cables. The hid harness if for when the stock headlight power wires do not provide enough power (not a problem for the MM when doing single beam only). If you do the hi/low kit it automatically comes with one because it's required to run it. Already explained the error code eliminators and the adapter cables are for running projectors with real HID DS2 bulbs and such.

Here is the write up I did when I first used their kit

My new fog lights should be here in the next few days so I'll be doing a write up on those as well.

Good deal. Great write up btw!! 1 question, you may have answered in one of those pages, but did they ever make the plugs right for the high and low beam, or I should make that swap before I install mine. I ordered my 9007 HI/LOW kit this morning. 35w 6000K bulbs.

What do you mean by "but did they ever make the plugs right for the high and low beam?"

I read where you said you had to swap some wires for the high beam to work correctly

When I first got their kit back in 2009 they had pins already set in their headlight plug connector. Now they come loose and you have to put the pins in the correct spot. Some vehicles that use 9004 and 9007 have reversed low/high pin settings. I put up a picture of the blue plug with the correct pin configuration for low, high and ground.
