Just a question before I order these......will I need any other accessories with this kit???

So I went ahead and installed these today...2/2/10....I found out that the part# on the bulb is just a manufacturing # for Apexcone....As far as the install....absolutely EASY.....the hardest part was finding a place to mount the ballast....
Updated with photos.....one is the driver side and the other is passenger side.....Here are 2 pics for now you can tell the difference...I will post some night shots later....

It's still plenty bright at 6000k....Plus at 6000k it will be plenty brighter than stock......I believe that between 4300k and 6000k are the best for brightness....anything higher than that the color washes out and becomes purple and loses intensity...

True, 6000k is brighter than stock, but 4300k just seemed to work best for me, and I've gone through more bulbs, and ballast than I care to recall......

Apexcone/ddm I went through 35w ballasts, 50w ballasts, 55w slim ballasts, 6000k bulbs, 5000k, 4300k, and 3900k bulbs. HID fogs, HID projector fogs....... I went a tad lighting crazy. Just a portion of all my changes: http://www.mazda3forums.com/index.php?topic=61746.0 After all was said and done, I wasn't running anything above 4300k, and it was the best lighting performance wise, and with the clear lens swap I also had the color, people go for with the higher kelvin ratings.
Oh and I think I've only had one ballast go bad, and I think that was from an ebay kit.
