The further away from 4100k you go the less light output you will have.

I actually have 8000k in both my headlights and fogs. My projectors arent even aimed correctly. The adjustment screws arent working so I cant aim them straight. I'll try the Brighter bulbs probably in Jan. Im very satisfied with the look and performance of my light for now though.

lol i don't you can adjust HID plug and play kits in our cars. There was a thread on this before but I can't remember why the reason for this was, maybe someone else can chime in...

Depends on what you mean adjust?
You can change the bulbs, but you have to make sure they are rebased 9006 bulbs, otherwise they wont plug into the headlight socket, and if you have Aristo headlights, make sure they are rebased 9005 bulbs.
If your talking about aiming the bulb..it should work just like a regular halogen bulb as the screws adjust the way the bulb is inside the projector..I think.

No the screws aim the entire projector. I think.... Ha, I dont remember now, I was in a rush I had 300 miles to drive. Mine dont work though. They're broken. I think I might order new headlight assemblies somewhere down the road.

Not a 160.00 hid kit, but I redid my whole lighting with 6000k lows and 6000k fogs. The jdm fogs were yellow, but with the advice from VIPguy, I removed the yellow piece. It is extremely bright at night.

Just want to say I love your GS. My kit was actually $160 for the fogs and low beams. Where did you find that body kit for your car. Not that I want your exact kit but I want to know where I can get one.

Thanks, for the kind words. I sent you a pm regarding the kit. As for the 160.00 for fogs and low beams, that's a steal. I just hope they warranty the bulbs and ballasts if you ever have problems. Post up some pics! thx

Wald, did you snip the wire for the amber light so that only the low's come on? And have you retrofitted your projectors?
