Never installed a set of HID's until today...Super easy...HID's for me from now on. hopefully the next car I buy will have HID's from the factory, or projectors.
5000K...wish I had gotten 6000K, but you can always buy different bulbs

Haha, well, honestly if they had the same output I'd go with halogens. They have a better CRI, less glare, and are cheaper.

However, we don't live in that dream! Lol, so I'll keep my HIDs
