So I have changed my HID's and I was gonna take pics but the guy did it so quick, he said it was pretty easy just the driver side was the hardest. He brought up a great point as he did my 3GS HID change out. The new GS has the slimmest ballast I have ever seen and the best part is it fits right in the front of the light housing. I may take a pic tomorrow if I get a chance, I got 5000K HID's and they look good I need to raise them though.

5K Philips, I also have Xtreme 5k from KB carstuff, I wanted to try the Philips out. The output isnt that bad and they match the LED's

sydtoosic

soooo... you switched from 6K to 5K? i was told and also read that the 5K lumens are much better than the 6K.

i like philips... you think the extremes are better?

mrpartsman

The 6k u cant see that good, that was a trial for me, but I like the 5k better,it does light up better and the place I got it was from Canada , and by mistake I ordered 2 pairs, so I have an extra set if someone is interested.

sydtoosic

yeah, the 5K is much better. why don't you just hold on to the extra set... like they say, **** happens.

mrpartsman

LOL good one.

Yeah the xtreme(XenonDepot HID Bulb) worked great in my other car and they are half the price of the Philips. I have the philips but I plan to install those in the summer. for now the ones on the car now are xtreme (XenonDepot HID Bulb) and they look really good. They have a white look not blue and not yellow, just right. I have never had a problem with them and the bulbs are very good quality compared to retrofit and Garax.

thanx for the info... i'm going to look into the extremes.

just put the bulbs in my cart, how long did the delivery take? i wasn't going to put money into the car because i was going to switch to the LS but now that i've decided to wait i'll spend some dough.

Where did u guys get the Philips 5K? I have the Philips 6K and didn't like the output so I'm using the stock 4.3K now?

mush

4300k has the best output, the higher u go the less light the bulb puts out

4300K is stock, and also has the yellowish color in them, So thats y everyone likes 5000K, i like the phillips 6000K cuz it gives the stock projectors we have the purplish cutoff flicker when ur driving down the road, so Im happy with the 6000K.
