yep works pretty well, I'd get d2s bulbs though, I'm not terribly happy with my d2r bulbs, there's some hotspots on the beam, but overall I can see muuuuch better at night. I just ordered a 9005 d2r kit to do my highbeams too

check out

passenger side are PIAA Platinum superwhites(from japan, well actually I got them in singapore) driver side is HID, the pic was taken at 2pm on a crystal clear day, the white balance is a bit off I guess because of the sun(both lights are a little more blue) but you can tell teh brightness difference.
