slim ballast comes with the drop in HID kit for the fog lights.

since the headlights (low/high beams) came with HID from the factory, all i had to do was change the bulbs to match the same temp (5000k) as the foglights i ordered.

Do the fogs match the headlights as perfectly as they look like they do in the pictures?

yes, match is dead on exact. I'll be honest the stock low/high beam HID bulbs were pretty close to the 5000k fogs but when i switched the low/high beams to the mtching 5000k, it was a perfect match

I would say it is maybe 25% (guesstimate) brighter than original, the color of the light definitely shows but i cannot promise that it is that much brighter than stock, either way I have adequate lighting for when I reverse. When I get a chance I will take a pic of the screen while reversing, unfortunately i do not have a before pic for reference
