HIDs installed

[mdost03]

It's not THAT big of a deal. Sheesh. You are making it seem like the OP actually put a "coupe 10million candle power spotlights" on his car. Chill out dude.

I'm planning on putting HID's in some stock housing headlights or some ebay projector headlights for my "back to 2Gb conversion" also. Rock on OP

Regular halogen projector lenses makes more of a straight aimed beam with a cutoff with hotspots and HID projectors makes no beam but a wide 180° even light coverage area with a SHARP cut off to not blind people.

Meh.

None of us are perfect, and most of drive cars, and drive in ways that could be considered "unsafe" at times. I don't find Pete's headlights to be as devastating to public safety as you're making it out to seem.

I'd have to imagine most cars on this site are illegal.

[A//// Guy]

Exactly... thats why I dont think this is such a huge deal.

Ive driven past people with their brights on and I can still follow the road just fine. I might have to squint and sure it may be annoying.. but so is our loud exhuasts, rough riding suspensions, etc.

120 bucks for slightly used 8k HIDs sound like a good deal? He's used them for like a month or two and is selling his car and putting it back to stock.

I might offer 100-110 but his asking price is 120.

8k is ricer purple.. the highest Id go is 6k for bluish color, 5k for max light output, 4300 is usually what stock hids are.

[polishmafia]

6k is just enough white with a hint of blue in them for me. i wouldnt want to go any higher in temp color.

[Kracka]

8000k is just plain ricer and the light output won't be that great. Get 6000k at the highest if you want good looks and good vision, if you want the best vision get 4500k.

Cool.. thanks for the info. The Projector headlights have a purple hue to them... I didn't know until I installed them... and being that I don't like purple I obviously don't like it. One of the bigger reasons I want to go with HIDs, as well as the other benefits.

Just seen his lights tonight. They look pretty nice. He has them aimed down, and they are not any more blinding then a normal set of halogen headlights. We shined them on my garage door, and yes there is some glare. Wethen parked my galant next to his, and my Halogen ones looked worse then his did. His don't have a perfect cutoff like stock HID's, but aren't any worse then my stock Halogen's.

[polishmafia]

ARC OF LIGHT!!! haha

[Halon]

ha!

Looks good, I had some 6000k hids in my old wrx and it was the best mod on that car only for the fact that the car came with day time running lights and when the ebrake was down and you turned the lights off they strobed and I could scare people, but they do look alot better if you have a projector, I love how they look in my evo

Wasn't me, so I'm guessing it was yinyang since he found the link...

I saw these this morning. They were bright and were more distracting than a regular HID, but not too bad. I'd like to see them again at night. Otherwise, they looked good! Now just get foglight bulbs to match.
