Thanks! You get used to the HIDs and it's hard to go back to regular halogens
Can you please post the brand and model/part # for the HID headlights, and also the part # for the PIAA fog lights. Link for the "retro solutions" store you speak of?
http://www.retro-solutions.com/ Give them a call and tell them what you got. They'll give you what you need. I got 6k color temp just like everyone else. They were vary helpful.
Did you have to modify anything to install the fog lights?
For the fog lights I modified the rear wiper switch box so it would take to rocker switches, I didn't like the PIAA switches. Other than that no real modifications. Just time and wire.
And how difficult was it to install the ballasts, etc. for the HID lights. Did you have to splice into the wiring harness, or did the kit had plug and play adapters?
Don't believe I did have to splice. Something kicked my ass that day, but I don't remember what it was. It wasn't due to the kit I can tell you that. It's a very straight forward install. WAIT..I think I remember ... I think you have to grind the plastic OEM piece that holds the bulb in.
Yes, lots of questions, but since I now plan to keep our H2 forever (since they aren't making more  ), I would like to invest in the identical light setup to yours. Your advice is much appreciated!
The H2 needs better lights and horns!

Hope that helps!
I need to find the time to install my PIAA light bar....
