Very nice, did you get the whole kit or just new bulbs???

I went with the 5000K for my low beams and fogs. next is something for the high beams.

10000K? That's ridiculous. Not going to be able to see very well with them. Hopefully you got them for show and not for serious night driving. Post the cutoff.

^^^ You talk like you know WTF your talking about.....

I have 12K HID's and they are bright as ***, way brighter than ANY halogen by far! Do us all a favor and don't talk when you have no way of backing it up.

Thanks. It's the whole kit which has ballasts, wiring, and bulbs.

Actually I've got the all clear housings. The turn signals have yellow bulbs.

To be honest, I can see 10 times better now at night. Street signs, road lines, and road reflectors look like they're glowing, like when you're wearing a white shirt under a black light. I love it! Oh, and this is my dd by the way.

8000k's look awesome too. I think mine are just a deeper blue color. And yes, way better than halogens.

Watch out for 5-0 when you're around OC.

My friend got pulled over for having aftermarket HID's. I think they just pulled him over because it was too purple to be stock.

Why didn't you go for temperature closer to stock?
