Default Just got my HID's

They were delivered this morning and I couldn't wait to put them in, finished that and went out to night, and the right head light was all blured, the bulb was fine, the fixtur just wasen't focusing the light. SO, I riped them apart and found that the retaining clip that actualy holds the bulb in came off the reflector, Surgery time, Took the thing in the housing that greatly deminishes how much light gets out, out and cut it up, Damn now its like fricken day out in front of my car, I was thinking about E codes but I can't really justify them right now and I am waiting for the ones that aren't 100% chrome, its just to much bling for me.

Ecodes, bling? No way! I am the the biggest stickler on ant-bling, and ecodes are very tasteful.

The HID's are 5000k 35w Philips bulbs and man are they bright, expecialy after my little modifications. And about the ecodes, I thought I liked them untile I got up close on a pair, maybe for a little less money but I just can justify it right now, being in school and all. if you have a link to any pics that you think might change my mine, feel free to use the peer presure, I'm pretty easy. j/k

they look blue, kinda but I would compair them to what you might see on a new maxima, maybe, but then again, the ones I'm used to are 8000 on my buddys ride.

I have 4100k and they have a tint of blue in them, just enough for me. Once you start using higher bulbs like 6000 and above, you are going to have less bright bulbs and defeat the purpose of xenon/hid.

Yeah, I know about the color thing, and originaly I was going to get the 4300's but decided to get the 5000 for just a little more color, but they are only slightly less bright than the 4300, not really noticable to me. and If you could get a link for the lights, that would be great, cus I can't find them.
