Awesome :cool:

[edit] The kit looks really good. I'm glad I went with 5000k and not 6000k, plenty of blue! Perhaps I'll get pics later.

Somehow my Headunit decided to reset all the fine tuned settings I had for my music when I disconnected the battery. All the presets too :cry:

Holy glare batman, I know, but my camera phone sucks.

After warming up, they're more of a white w/ hint of blue. 5000k is perfect IMO :laugh:

I need eyelids very soon because these things are BRIGHT!!

What's the best way to prolong the life of these? I know people say don't turn them on and off in short periods of time.. what if I go to get gas and turn them off, and turn them on 1 or 2 minutes later? Is it only a problem if you "flash" them?

I leave mine on when I get gas :shrug:. If anyone has a problem with it too bad :laugh:

and yes...again....use your high beams to flash.

I heard not to power your HID's without the car running :shrug:

Maybe it was a hoax :)

I would still like to see a better wall shot than the one posted with the bush.

145 posts in this thread and not one wall shot? :confused: (except for the projectors with the knife-sharp cut-off!)

I'd REALLY like to see a wall shot of this kit in a pre-98. If the pattern is half decent, I'm in all the way!

Basically a much more amplified version of what you get with halogens. The pattern is in no way "better," yet I can definitely tell that I can see farther and clearer. :shrug:

It's been raining a lot here, was going to adjust my lights tomorrow but I'll be gone all night ;)

i know i didnt post a wall shot of mine but the pics i posted were from a pre-98. if the GB is still going on when i get my car back together i will get some wall shots for you.
 
Ordered.

It'll sure be nice to actually be able to SEE with the low beams. (I just hope I don't blind anyone in the process.)

Thanks Keyser!
 
I got my kit and got it installed last week. I went with the 6000K kit and I love it! I have 100w bulbs in my brights and now I don't even have to use them! These are worth every penny. I'd say this is close to being one of my most favorite mods so far
