Not available from the factory, but you can get an add-on HID kit (9006) and install it fairly easily. I got mine from www.proxenon.com for about $400.

Yep. Aftermarket, or very good imitation bulbs.

Also, next time use the button found in my signature.

Hi v6master, I was wondering if you could take some pictures of your HID kit installed and some pictures of the lighting at night. Also, did you get the 6K one?

Thanks!

yeah, the problem with projector HID is that the cut-off allows so little light above the cut-off, some folks with them like to aim them straight out like see-fu did for those pics. and he ends up inadvertently blinding people as well.

if the projectors are aimed down like they're suppose to, then it's alright.

i'm assuming those beam pattern pics are from see-fu, and not exactly what's coming off of sweetaccord's ride.

Actually I have pretty much no glare since I have Ecodes which I aim really low. Also my Ecodes are left hand drive so most of the light is off to the right. So there is absolutely no glare onto oncoming traffic.

That last picture is just an example of how bright it is.

Your right USC. My Ecodes has a very sharp cutoff and no light that goes towards the left side besides the light that is about 10 feet in front of my car. It is aim so low that you have to knee at 25 feet just to get some glare. You basically have to sit down at 25 feet before you get glare. Now that is pretty low.

Besides I know that any light parallel to the horizon is a waste.
