Thanks for all the comments yall. The HIDs cost me like $335 from superhids.com and I got them in like two days. When I got em I was kinda uneducated on em, thats why I said I was expecting more of a white color. Still working on the cardomain, just been too busy here lately. I've got front and rear Si Lips sitting in my garage collecting dust. I have been very apt about putting them on because if I do, my car will be so low in the front I'm afriad I'll be scrapping everywhere. I really am leaning towards putting them on though. I've got another set of amber visions (other set got broken), a 7" tv, and the a/v console coming in the mail. I'm also currently working on a custom amp enclosure in my trunk as we speak. Should have it done by the end of the weekend. I'm taking pics as I go so I can show the progress for anybody who cares. Anywayz, I'll post more pics of my new stuff when I get em installed. Once again, thanks for the comments!

You need to buy projector headlights. Stock headlights cause too much glare and it is actually illegal to retrofit aftermarket HID's into stock headlights in every state. The reason is for the glare and having the light go all over the place. I don't think it's legal even after you buy projector headlights, but I don't think the cops will care as long as there is minimal glare.

I'm using stock headlights, just stuck the bulbs in there.

To tell you the truth, I just put em in there and I was lucky enough to have em aimed right. :chuckles:

nice man..

- 4100k = yellow
4100k-4300k = white
6000k-8000k = white with a very slight tint of blue
anything above 8000k = blue purple

Usually for best lighting, you should stay around 4100-4300k and no more than 6000k.. After 6000k, you will start losing lighting and wont be able to see as far as 4100-4300k...

And of course when you get new bulbs, you have to colorshift the bulbs (break them in) to actually show their true color...
