15000k HIDs.. Everyone has either white or blue so i'd figure i would be different and go with ruby purple.. They dont look that bright cause i have them pointing down a little more so i dont blind people while im driving

I had an extra ballast left over so i bought another ballast off ebay and it works great.. I got the bulbs off of intensehid.com.. Which they sell kits for 105 with free shipping unless you get yellow or purple its 5 extra bucks

Im not exactly sure what you people consider rice but in my opinion rice is something everyone has, like i dunno lets see the type r front lip you can get of ebay.. that **** is rice cause everyone has it and there cheap as ****. Oh also the cars with the type r lip and sides and no rear, i mean come on and i got you people saying my lights are rice.. there just ****ing lights holy ****. I have something barley anyone has so there for is different and not rice.. Im not trying to blind people on the road. if i can see whats in front of me and on the sides then im good to go.. Some of you people telling they dont put out much light, HELLO im the one who has them on the car im pretty sure i how much light output there is so dont tell me something stupid like that..

seriously its headlights. if you can see well enough to not drive off the road, i think its fine. his car is far from rice. and having too much light is a bad thing too i know from experience.

^well, you can ask just about anyone and they will tell you its rice. its purple man.... rice doesnt mean its bad....its just rice.... like my car is riced, but its clean rice (for the most part)
and as for the output of 15k, they are close to 1000-1500Lm a bulb. stock bulbs are 700-1200Lm.
and as for the "useful light comment" purple-ish light is very useless to our eyes, when it comes to "seeing" the road. if you go on HIDplanet or do some simple research you will see what i mean.
4000k-6000k is most pleasant to our eyes (its simple facts) and is the most useful viewing output.
im just trying to tell u about ur 15k color. ive done over 15 retrofits andd know almost everything there is to know about hid lighting n output.

a big bright field of light in front of you and your eye pupils will close up so you can't see anything beyond your light beam. its dangerous. and yeah hid projectors are worse than hid kits when you are constantly flashing people with light below the cutoff as you drive up and down hills.

Yeah dude, these look cool. Idk why everyone is freaking out. I know in ohio i would def get pulled over for them, but if the cops are cool in FL than dude, more power too ya. I think they look good, and different is a good thing, and its not rice, imo, it might not be my style, but i think it still looks clean man. I like my 12K's, and i have mine angled down, probably more than you too, i need to raise them a little, i guess im not a truck and i dont gotta worry about gettin people too bad! lol
*Do your own thing, and dont bash if its his style, im sure ya'll got somethin he could prob bash you guys for too, so just be more chill ya'll!*

Purple is kind of fruity but if it works for you it works for you.
