Purchased mine at Alpine, google it, worked great, look great, don't know if they are the best but there is plenty of discussions on HID's in the forum

Also error free, super bright, I actually put a smoke light tint on mine just to attenuate the brightness and avoid the blob look, worked well.

Sure, but you need a high end camera to capture the intensity properly.

Search the forum for Apine HID, there is a guy that posted some pics and swears that there are as good as his 2012 BMW, these are as bright during the day as at night, you can do the same with fogs just a bit more installation required...

I will replace my fogs in the spring, Alpine has great install videos on the 2011 models however you have to squeeze your fingers in a hole to get the lights in and out, took me some time and scratched digits but it was worth it
