There off a Maxima, that means that there in the 4100K - 4300K. Its got the D2R bulb right. (has a cover/shield over the bulb)

I got my HID kit yesterday, mine is 8000K.....its a pure white/purple blue. Im sure yours are brighter cause the lower the Kelvin temp the brighter. The higher the more color

PICS!!!!!!!!!

Yeah i heard HID's gave off too much glare. Should I upgrade mine to HID's? Will the stock housing be able to handle it and give me a good light pattern?

if you haven't gotten your HID conversion kit already i think it's too late to get em because converting your car to HID is now illegal.

whoever is doing this, i beg you to aim your headlights correctly because they DO cause too much glare, and i drive in an area with too many jumbo sized SUVS already lighting my ass up on the freeway at night with their headlights. i don't need every EK and DC2 in the 626 to do the same...

Since he said that there from a Maxima.....since they dont have a projection housing they use D2R bulbs, which have a shield over the bulbs. That stops the glare, i have a D2S bulb (bought a kit) which is designed for a projection housing. I have some glare, as long as the headlights are adjusted right you shouldnt have a problem.
As for the headlights handling it, HIDs are only 35watt bulbs. They give off less heat and use less power then halogens. Thats why they last up to 2000hours.
I say go for the HID upgrade (before 8/15/03) i got mine in and its crazy the amount of light that i have now. I can see the whole road with just my headlights. I dont even use my foglights anymore

Thats true about them banning them, there is no new law though. HID's have always been illegal cause they broke one of the biggest rules........they dont have filament. There just now trying to get the aftermarket sales of them banned. Which doesnt make sense cause cars can still come with them factory but people cant buy them?? odd isnt it

Ohhh Ya, PICS WOULD BE NICE!!!!!!!!
