I've been running Cougar Motor LEDs for about 4 months now, but was itching to try HIDs in my low beams.
Finally got around to it today with these:
HYB 55w Canbus-safe ballasts
Xtremevision H11 6000k HID bulbs
Brightsource pre-drilled dust covers (I siliconed them for extra waterproofing)

Mounted everything with 3M tape on the inside of the painted rail

Here's the results

HIDs only

HIDs and Cougar 9005 LED highs

Totally happy with the results and the HIDs throw light farther down the road than LEDs.
Got no flashes tonight, and can see SO much better that I couldn't care less about the "can't use HIDs in reflectors" argument. I'm sorry I didn't do this sooner!

I've been looking at that ballast. What are your thoughts? Also, did you need any external decoders? Any errors?

The ballasts come complete with the decoders all hooked up already (1st pic)
Sold in pairs. Comes with one square of 3M tape for the ballast, I added tape to the two other boxes. Cleaned the rail with alcohol. No errors or issues, the lights fire up in under 2 seconds.
Bright as white super novas!

I just installed my GTR Ultra 2 LED and moved my Morimoto HID to the fog lights. The setup works much better for me along with the focus and adjustment.
