ok, so if i go to our vendors part of the forum, click on the hid special, buy them, when they get here i can more or less just plug it in? also, what level should i go with? i like the blue color like the 8000k has. i think blue looks cool. is there some reason why people dont like the higher levels? it seems to me that the bluer it looks, the cooler it looks. but maybe thats just me.

I have 8000k and love them. They put out slightly less light than the 6500k and 4600k, but are still about 209x brighter than stock. +1 for adding projectors, w/o them you'll just spray light everywhere, **** everyone off, and probably get a ticket.

i got DEPO 1 pieces on ebay for like $250. OEM Valeo's go for like $600+, DEPO also makes 2-piece projectors if you're not feeling up to the conversion

alright, i have one more question, for now. i am looking on ebay and seeing that some projector lights have a ring around the outside like bmw halo lights, does that actually work? do you need to do anything special to get that to work?

yeah exept I think they're too bright for these halogen projectors because the cut-off isn't very good. & i heard the B5 OEM HID projectors are different so im thinkin about trying those.....
