Default ughhhh..cant stop....

moding my car...ugh, i want to stop but i cant, hopefully ill be getting a set of HIDS in a week or two. if it makes me see better than what the hell why not....it an 8000K from hella(i think). i guess this will be my official last mod to the car so i can start saving up for the WRX i want to get. i think im going to keep the hid system when i get the new ride, anyway i can keep them?!? i believe the wrx is an h7

Different blubs so it won't work.

Also........do not get 8000K you won't be able to see worth a sh!t. The higher the 'K' doesn't mean it's better. The 4XXXK kits put at the most luminens and all OEM HIDs are 4300K. Get a 4100K or 4300K kit you'll be much happier. Trsut me.

If you want cool go get hyper whites. HIDs are to help you see better not be cool. I rather spend $30 on hyper whites to look cool then $800 on HIDs to not see ****.

i want an awd now, better performance stock. with the wrx, i can run low 14-high 13s stock, and work my way down the times and i might get into autoXing aswell.

You wont be able to get into the 13's stock with a wrx....stock, the best time is like 14.5. They are a lot faster than most hondas tho. just stick with a honda. a light hatch with a b16 and few mods will be a lot cheaper and be about the same speed. plus, turbo's fun as hell, but so is 8000rpm. can you tell im a honda nut???

You want a fast turbo awd car get a DSM (Talon/Eclipse) more bang for the upgrade buck.

I said the higher the the 'K' the less luminans. 4XXXK have the most luminans, close to natural sun light. The purple or blue look you see from Audis, BMWs, S2000s is in the housing and projector not the blub.

kelvin rating=rating it is to pure white
4000-4300k equals purest white light
any higher you get the blues and purples
8000k would be all show, no help for seeing
it gives the illusion of brightness but is just no usable color
