Ok, I read a horror story (click here http://www.intellexual.net/hid.html )about higher temp HID bulbs and why our cars come with a white 4300K temp... We all want the purpleish lights like some Audi's have. I learned after I bought my bulbs that the purple audi projectors were because of the design of the projector and NOT the color of the bulb. I went ahead and put them in anyway. The first pic is the best. The blue is better in person and my eyes dont see a difference at night between the OEM and 8000k. I drove last night with one OEM and one 8000K. I liked the 8000K way better... I might throw these on ebay and order some 10000K just to see what they look like. The higher the temp, the LESS light.. That's not a good thing either...



I bought some cheapo bulbs from ebay 8000K color and swapped out my HID lights. I also swapped out my OEM hi-beams for some Sylvania Ultras. Here is the comparison below.

The left (passenger side) HID bulb is OEM, the right is 8000K.

The left side hi-beam is Ultra, the right is OEM.

I didn't think I was going to be able to install the rt side hi beam or the left side HID myself, but I was able to. It's a tight squeeze. That's the reason for the random placement of the OEM and replacement bulbs..

I will work on some better pictures tonight with a better cam than my outdated iphone..

I didn't get better pictures, but I will say that the light is very blue on the road and it's harder to see. The stockers may be going back in after all. I'm going to wait until the yellow fogs get here, then decide.

get those fog lights done son, HID...
