The fog lights have yellow Lamin-X protective urethane film on them. The headlights have protective urethane also, they're just clear.

I will snap some pics of the interior shortly after it's done raining. I will get pics of the navigation and wireless internet.

Forgot to answer. Yes the HIDs are basically plug and play. The 7.5A fused in fuse #10 and #11 had to be replaced with 15A fuses. The 7.5A fuses held for most of the time, but since the ignition of the HID ballast draws a bunch of power at one time (power draw decreases once fired) and so maybe 1 out of 25 fires and the 7.5A fuse would go. Even when the 7.5's weren't blown, you could see them bowing in the fuse plastic, so I talked with Scott H and Tim C and they both upgraded to 15A on 10 and 11 in the box.

The stock factory 9006 connector plugs right into the Philips HID Ballast. Then my Philips H1 Ultinon bulb plugs right into the connectors on that ballst and into the housings. It's a very clean setup. No hacking up wires and such. It's not hard to install at all. However, due to the different bulb and characteristics of the HID capsule the aiming had to be redone.
