I finally completed my HID project, fairly simple a 9006 plug-n-play kit in the OEM housings, tinted with Yellow film for that IMSA GT spec look.

Odd trait, the halogen high beams are definately yellow at night, but the HID's still appear blue-ish. So at night the beam doesn't look yellow. the pattern on the road then looks like a normal halogen bulb.

Pretty nice effect if you ask me.

Just as good as the OE halogen was but brighter now, plus the film has pretty much removed any glare issues I had previously. I'm very pleased with the results.
