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

K20 Elite · 02-09-2009, 05:57 PM

Hid projectors ftw s2000, TL some of my favs

K20 Elite · 02-09-2009, 05:58 PM

But HID plug and play equals blind oncoming drivers esp on big trucks

^ do you have a pic of the 4300K?!? I have been trying to see what it looks like. I want a small hint of blue in them, but not completely blue...

part of the retro club... nice! lol. You haven't thought of putting HIDs in your fog lights?? I think it would be a nice accent to the retros... what type of retros do you have??

^^ Why do you always post in bold?

VanSi07 · 02-09-2009, 09:41 PM

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
