Got my Apexcone 6000K kit installed at about 2:00am this morning (no I don't have any patience), and they look freakin amazing. Now all I have to do is wait for my 3000K kit to get here and I'll be all set. One quick question though. Should I get the wiring harness for this set, since they are for the fogs?

First, did the Apexcones come with the H7 adapters needed for the Mazda housing?
Second, no, you won"t need a special harness. The HID"s are only drawing 35w when fully lit, and only a little more on start up. It should not be enough to overpower the stock harness.

Ya, it did come with the adapters. I got it off of the group buy from m3f.com.

Why don"t I ever see these GB"s until it"s too late??
That"s a GREAT price for Apexcones.

The GB coupon code still works. The GB has been over for a while now. I just ordered them on Monday, and got them last night.

did the fog lights for the yellow HID use the same OE fog lens or did you change to projector lens?

I am using the OE fog lenses. I'm currently waiting on the new bulbs to ship from RPM. When I received the fog kit, neither of the bulbs worked, so I ordered new ones from RPM. Odd thing is, is that they partially shipped my harness first, and I'm still waiting on the actual bulbs to ship. Ordered Luminics 2500k highs as well from a different site.
