    Sorry NC_VX, I totally missed this until today. To answer your question, the kit does contain everything you need to perform the install (except maybe some bolts/nuts for a more "secure" mounting). Other then that it is pretty simple to get wired up and going. It took me about 4 to 5 hours to mount, test and wire. It probably took me longer cause I kept double checking the wiring at each stage of the install just to make sure they still worked I also spent alot of time trying to tie and hide my wires as much as possible.

    The main reasons I chose the piaa p-3000's were because they look so good in our front bumper openings and they add alot of functionality without having huge floods sitting off a front safari bar.

    The reason I used the W2's in my stock parking lights is because they match the p-3000 marker lights almost perfectly. So, when you wire the marker lights to your parking lights and just turn your stock parking light "knob" on, you then have 2 markers on your piaa's on as well as your stock parking lights. The minor difference in coloration is in the fact that the piaa lenses are completely clear while the stock parking lights have a pattern to them.

    The reason I went with the silvania silverstar's for my headlight bulbs is when you switch your lights on, then turn the xtreme white spot's on your piaa's on they match almost perfectly.

    So, if you use the setup I used you then have 4 "marker" lights with a hint of blue and 4 very bright white driving lights with no real hint of blue. Plus you have the extra plasma ion driving lights which somewhat match your stock horn bulbs, ok not really that close, which makes 4 "ion" yellow bulbs.

    To be honest I just got done installing them, so I havn't completely tested yet. I'm not sure which ones you should use at which times, but I'll figure it out over time.
