Black Housing/Clear Projector Lenses (HD-340CL)
Black Housing/Ion Projector Lenses (HD-340BL)

ion is a coating over the headlight that makes it look "blue" in direct sunlight. its completely ghey though ... on sunny days, you'll be shining purple, yellow, pink, and blue at certain angles.

Not that ion coating, this is that deep blue coat of the projector lense that pretty much does what those Superkyrptonitexeongas bulbs do in a regular housing.
