Alright, I got the 10,000k HID kit and a pair of amber LED 3156 bulbs for the sides.
All in all I am EXTREMELY pleased with the difference in lighting thanks to the HID's. Night and day doesn't even explain it.
I mounted the driver side ballast sideways in between the head lamp and battery. There is a metal plate there and I used the double sided tape to stick the ballast there. It is very tight in there so I am confident the ballast isnt going anywhere.

Next I mounted the passenger side ballast flat under my intake. Again I used the double sided tape and a tie wrap to keep it planted.

Then came the 3156 LED 18 bulbs for the sides. These are really cool looking and best of all are white when off and amber when on. IMO they do the clear side reflectors justice.

Next time to plug in the HID bulbs. On the website it said these were blue going torwards purple which I wanted to contrast with the dark blue color of my car. They are actually very blue/white which looks nice IMO. Here are some shots. I messed with the white balance a bit to get different shots.

I live out in the bonnies and with these lights I can finally see more then 2 ft ahead of me They are awesome!!
A very easy install that you just need to take your time with as to not mess up the bulbs. I actually wore a pear of latex gloves as to not accidentally get any smudges on the bulbs if I touched them by mistake.
Time to save up so I can get my drivetrain stuff installed.
