Looks sweet; great job finding a place for the ballasts.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you have to put down for this setup, and how long to install?

It appears that you are using the stock housing correct?
If so, how is the beam pattern/ cutoff with the halogen housing?

I put HIDs in my H4 halogen housings on one of my cars; the pattern was a mess and was really bad for oncoming cars. Once I upgraded to projector housings it was much more focused and useful.

yea the pattern was a mess in my car, but seems very much the same on the s4 its a little high so i need to bring the lights down a bit, but other than that its exactly the same except much brighter and a little wider. Projectors would always be better however.
