Cool I have HID's
They're installed and they kick ***. I took some pix, but the light washes out the camera at every setting I had....I'll try again tonight, or try to roll by the Timmy's meet to show off and have you all praise my pimpness. That is all.

Pharoh, sorry man, I was upholstering the sides of my trunk setup then got ambitious and installed the HID's. By the time I finished, I was beat so I just went to bed.

knowledge, I'm not coming to the barrie meet, and I think you know why.

6500K is pretty good. I was wary cause I wanted 5000K at MOST, but for the price, I couldn't pass them up.

Sweetness, another mod for me to live vicarously through.

Did you get a plug and play (H4) kit, or retrofit projectors? How's the colour with 6500k?

Plug n play - the projector project (ha ha) will have to wait until I have more money and time, and when i either have a spare set of headlights or can give up the car for a few days.

Brightstar. Will get pix up once I adjust the lights to minimize glare, which I know will be crazy cause YES, they're H4 plug n play.

Was easy when I approached it the second time. The first time I was a little tired, but the second time, with gearbox's help, I was able to find spots for the ballasts and ignitors.

No warranty, no receipt. Brand new though.

Low beam is HID, high beam is halogen bulb.

Maybe a little better than mine, but unless you're using HID projectors you'll never have a sharp cutoff like the BMW's.

As long as you aim them properly you shouldn't have any problem. I see ppl with aftermarket HID all the time so I don't think you need to worry. London should be less strict than T.O.

That's true, they are pricey over here, Phillips HID kits are like 650 plus taxes over here. I should have bought them at Dark Nights or Importfest, they had them there for 450
