Default My HID's! [FIXED]

Well one of my DRL's went out yesterday, so I decided to go ahead and get my HID's on both my DRL's and my low-beams. Sorry in advance for REALLY crappy pics.. They're w/ my phone.

But here they are

Both DRL's and Low beams


Just DRL's


DRL's and low beams a little farther out


In front of car w/ both DRL's and low beam on


I didn't have the money to do my 3K fog lights atm, so I just turned them off and am just running low beams/DRL's when driving.

If I can steal my moms camera i'll try and get some better pics of them.

Specs;

Low Beams - 6K HID's
DRL's - SMD Lights
Fog Lights (Soon to come) - 3K HID's

Thanks for looking guys! And again sorry for s***** pics.

not a fan of PNP hid's...they are blinding and dangerous to other drivers imo.

PNP = plug n play. Pretty much hes talking about putting HID kits on cars that did not originally come with it. It produces glare that blinds the people that are coming towards you. hence why i said glare. If you notice the HID's on the GS400 they are nice n clean mainly because the bowls are specifically design to use HID D2R Bulbs.. whereas your lights.. the bowl is design for halogen 9006 bulbs. 2 different animals.

Ahh I see I see.. Makes perfect sense. Yeah 98 GS's didn't come w/ HID compatible as far as I know from reading up.

Makes me sad heh. There's no way to 'fix' this glare?
