Default what do you guys think?

ok so now that i am getting more hours at work and stuff, i decided to get 2 piece helix/depo projectors and HID but i dont know if 35w 6000k would be too blue and make me look like a stupid ricer in a honda? so my question is: should i go for 35w 5000k or 35w 6000k

i have 5k and they are not that blue they are pretty nice. The Ricer look will come from the fact you are putting in 2 piece lights...

If you have not bought the lights yet, change to one piece, they blend with the lines of the body more. Also get 55w 6k ddm they will look pure white with none of the "ricer blue" you are trying to avoid. If your set on 35w then get 5k.

Personal pref. but I like my 6000k.

and a little update on em.. I've had the vvme kit for a couple years now and no issues. Worth the $80 or so I paid, I think.

is this a good choice for the one piece? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT
i know about the fender trimming but if i decide to go with the one piece will i need to modify the wiring a little? i though that the facelift models had different wiring.

Those housings are fine. You'll also need this.

Trim your fenders, solder your wires and you're good to go.

Good luck!

good thing that you mentioned the wiring harness, to me it seems expensive to pay $60 for a couple of wires with a plug at the end.. lol do you know where to get this cheaper? is this the same thing http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/E3...-Screw-On-Pair

also on the ddmtuning website when you look at the HID Kits there is an option for an error code eliminator and and a HID harness dual in dual out. can someone explain what that is?

That wiring harness would work fine if you had an E36 BMW.



Pay the 60 and be done with it!

Honestly the "blue-ness" will depend on your projectors. If you've got the projectors that are made for Xenon, they will be more likely to project the blue color than regular halogen projectors.
