yes Bi-xenon from japan 
Follow the instructions.
When mounting the ballasts and running the wire over to the passenger headlight it helps if you remove the grill. There are some brackets behind the bumper that you can zip-tie the ballasts to.
The grill has 2 bolts and 2 pins that hold it. Remove those, and then yank up on the grill to pop it loose.

So far the kit is holding up. The quality was an 8 out of 10. The ballasts are getting wet pretty much when it rains (like today) and no problems. The Brights work great.

Yeah. I have HID headlights and fogs. One of the best mods I've done. The difference between HID and Halogen is huge. My HID fog lights seem like they're brighter than most peoples headlights! I have them aimed good, so nobody has flashed their lights at me yet. I've had em for about 2 weeks.
I got em here. http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=208501

Bi-xenon. 4300k, which is the same color that Mercedes uses on their cars HIDs. Very white. No blue.
The Kelvin (K) is the unit of color temperature. 4100K is the brightest, most natural white light similar to that of daytime sunlight, and therefore the HID color temperature used most in the OEM automotive industry. When you look at the light coming directly out of an HID headlight, it possesses a bit of a blue or purple hue which most people recognize as the expensive, elegant look characteristic of HID's. For this reason, some HID kit manufacturers produce 5400K, 6500K, 8000K, etc. bulbs that give an even more distinct blue hue but at the expense of overall light output. For comparison, most halogen headlights have a color temperature around 3200K which gives them a "dingy" yellowish appearance compared to HID's.
Blue light is more fatiguing to the eyes, both to oncoming traffic and to the driver. Oncoming cars will see your lights for only a brief time, but as the driver, you must deal with it for the duration of your drive. The bluer the tint cast on the road and surrounding area, the more quickly your eyes become tired. It's a personal choice and I recognize and respect that some install HID's mostly for the look. However, very blue headlights might get you the wrong kind of attention from law enforcement. Personally, I'd like to benefit from my investment in the way of increased visibility and safety. Be aware that most of the 6500K and higher bulbs are produced by inferior manufacturers to capitalize on the maketability of "the bigger number must be better". Their 8000K bulbs may not measure 8000K. Don't be fooled.

got the fogs and they light up great! Just wish they had more range. They only shoot out like 25ft or so. I guess I will be buying the headlight bi-xenons as well.
