To set all the rumors aside.
Auto Leveling is not disconnected.
There is no delay. Whatsoever
They work just like stock.
They are infact brighter.....(maybe because my 98's faded over 4 years of continuous use)
The blue is magnificient and I absolutely love it.
The pic I took at the wall was not fully in the housing. I haven't had the chance to take another pic, but I will correctly fitted in the stock housing.
I got the Bulbs from a friend at a huuuuge discount.
any more questions?

Ugh, yuck! Make it stop! First of all, I will bet my car AND my home theater AND my life that that 8000K bulb on the left is dimmer than the 4100K bulb with it's 2000 hours of use on it. I can immediately tell that 8000K light is dimmer than the 4100K light on the wall. If you can't, then wow, I'm sorry man... Also you see that blue light reaching about 4 feet up the wall? Yeah, well when you're not in front of a wall and are say driving on the freeway, that light jumps up to about 30 feet high a hundred yards ahead of you, which means every motorist on the road is blinded by ugly, annoying blue light. Honestly man, do you think that solid state blue light looks good on a car? Cause I think RICER immediately after I see that on a road. I don't even bother noticing what kind of car it's on, to me it's as good as a '78 Daihatsu Charade behind those blinding lights. Face it, no matter what ebay tells you, 4100K IS THE BRIGHTEST. Vision or K2 lighting isn't going to develop a technology that defies the laws of nature and physics. Except it. 7000K, 8000K, 12000K, whatever your fancy, is pure and simply unadulterated crap. Poorest lighting performance ever, sets you back 40 years in lighting technology. Taken to the extreme, do you think violet light or even black light would help you much on the highway? What makes you think there is such a thing as brighter than pure white light? Do you know that in the light spectrum, a prominent color of light means the absence of it's complimentary colors? In other words blue light is the absence of red and green light. Philips knows this, Osram knows this. Now you think the fact that the two largest and oldest bulb manufacturers in the world---the pioneers of HID and the only producers of OEM HID bulbs--- don't make these 8000K bulbs, yet some no name third rate korean bulb manufacturer in nowheresville, korea does, is kind of suspicious? I don't know what more to say bro, honestly I've been singing the same tune to you guys in every way that I know for the last 6 months it at least a dozen threads, but some people NEVER learn. I mean I even gave you an article with full color pics! How many times do you have to burn your hand on the oven before you realize it's hot?

right now i just stopped caring what other people do.....

That blue looks awesome. You don't have to care what other think as long as you are happy with the mod.
But.. the truth... not personal opinion.. usefullness of the 8000K HID...
Look at the light on wall. It sure is blue but dimmer than the stock on the right. Not only dimmer, scatter.. no focus point. The blue color will not be brighter anyway you look at it. Take it out for a test drive in the dark back road... you will see that you can begin to tell that you are not going to have better visibility while driving in real world. In fact that bluish color in night will be ate up mostly... take a test people.. put a blue tint over the flash light and shine into the dark room.. not very effective is it... I know that you guys going to say that blue tint cut the light source by certain percentage.. but this is just a demostration that blue color light does not work too well in the dark. Color closest to the sun light will be the brightest illumination. What I notice from my Phillip 6000K bulb: They are definitely brigher than the stock if you look dead on into it or shine into the fricking wall... but as far as illumination into the dark street.. they are just a little dimmer in real life illumiation into the road for human eyes to pickup. I can take a pic that show the 6000K shine more into the road.. but while driving at 60MPH in the dark winding road.. they sure don't beat the yellowinsh 3900K high beam... IMO...

I've gotta take your word for it on the "it's brighter", because the stock HID looks brighter to me in the picture you posted. The blue DOES looks like the light disperses wider which may seem to light up more of the immediate area.
I do have one question - is it the stock bulb or the 8000K bulb which projects that URL on all your pictures ?
