Go with a proper retrofit with a 6000K kit. You'll be a lot happier.

8K? that'll be too blue. i bought 5k since it's the closest to factory and it actually is brighter which is the reason behind owning a HID light.

YOUTUBE it.

Me and my wifes cars BOTH have 8000K 55Watt DDM HID's and they ARE NOTE BLUE WHAT-SO-EVER.

Its PURE white and super bright. And yes they are aimed down and doesnt glare and blind everyone.

It isnt a "proper" way but not everyones budgets and lives consist of hammering money into a car

Thus says the person with the custom black roof, L-Tuned sideskirts, LED tails, rims, roof spoiler, GS dropped....and no telling the mods you have in the interior. I guess it was ok to hammer money into those mods lol. Out of all of that, you could've at least done a bowl swap. To be honest, the aiming down of the bulbs doesn't help. The bottom of the bowl is still lit, which produces glare.

BTW, this response by NO MEANS is a negative post towards you or your mods...just being sarcastic with your money response lol.

Just an FYI, a lot of these 'ebay kits' [assuming that is being used most] aren't exactly description fitting.
Perhaps some of you claim 8k as per the box it was shipped in... but not always right. I've gotten a 6k kit, that was actually 8k. The cinnamon GS above looks to have 6k lows and 8k fogs.

I've had 'real' 6k, 4300k kits. They looked exactly like below;

Like i said, some prefer not spending $3-500 on headlights. Has nothing to do with my other mods.

No sarcasm intended.

I bought 6k from hid xtra and it looks pretty damn blue to me. I was hoping for more of a hyper white like that picture showed. it seems like that was a wrong label on the box

^ there is the colorshift as well to account for... Bulbs need a certain hour runtime to 'warm up' to their ideal color output, so they will become white with time. Well not really, since they have a blue tinge to them that's hard to capture with a camera. Here's my old bulbs; 6k
