I didn't go with the slims because there is infinite room behind the bumper to mount them.

Sweet man, thanks. I want to try to color match the OEM HIDs as best I can. I thought about ordering a set of Hoen fogs but I'll probably just go with these instead.

How much of a bluish hue is the 6000k? I'm looking at the spectrum right now and I can see it's the slightest blue, but don't know how it will actually look when used..

some people like it.

i couldnt stand it. i guess i got used to OEM 4300k.

hmmm First integra had 5000k pnp, then rebased 9006 4300k HID from Lexus GS300

Evo had OE 4300k

G35 has OE 4300k

2nd Teg had PNP 6k, then 5k pnp (currently on the car with Vinnie), then TSX retro with OE 4300k

When i got the subaru there were H4 rebased OE 5k and it was alright, but lots of glare so i took em out.

Dang, for that price I'll try them out. For the price of my Silver Stars I could have bought the kit and an extra pair of bulbs(not including shipping)

Hmmm...but would I get glare from a 35w kit in stock EF housings?

How bad was the glare? And your teg's lights, ill be getting 9006 bulbs too.. i just liked how the lights looked "more crisp/clean" with hid's and don't think i've noticed too big of a difference between riding in cars with or without hid's. i could be very wrong though, not too sensitive to that stuff..

^yea, i'm slightly worried if i'll get glare with these or how bad it'll be..

probably not....
just as long as i can see better without spending a bucket load. i dont wanna spend more just to get replacement silverstars or what nots.. at this price, if they glare way too much, i'll be posting in the classified

i gots a 07 TSX as well and man, IMO those are the best looking HIDs evar

h:

just placed an order for:
Apexcone Raptor HID Kit (35w)
Wattage : 35W
Bulb Type : 9006
Bulb Color : 4500K
came out to $43.33 shipped

OEM HID's are between 4300 and 4500 if memory suits me.
