for being bold enough to be different.

for putting something on your car that is illegal.

At least down here in Florida, you can't have any lights on the front of your car that resemble any shade of red or blue.

Pink HID's are rated at 30,000k, not 3,000k. You said the bulbs are not tinted, so are they transparent? If so then your HID's must be 30,000K. The output of your PINK HID looks very very weak. What brand of bulb is it? What lumen output does it say on the box? You can't guage lumen output by bare eyes. Theoretically at 3000k the lumens are higher than that from 6000k or 8000k but that's from a YELLOW bulb which is the NATURAL color of light.

very nice Brabus C230 btw....

^Its 3200 Lumens. They have Pink and Green 3000K Bulbs now, which are specially custom. I got them off ebay from stillenmaxima. They are great bulbs. The output is indeed better than the 6000K and 8000K for a fact. These bulbs illuminate the streets at night very good. I will try to take some pics from the inside of the car drivin at night.

Your C class Benz would look SO hot if it did NOT have pink hids. They look ridiculously horrible. The pink ruins the look of the whole car. Your cars looks great with the lights turned off.

I love the pink xenons, I think they look sexy on my car. Its even better in person. But I just like to be different from everyone else. A guy was amazed to see pink xenons before when he saw them on my car. He was stunned. Dude even called his friends. So Its Hot.

Pink stands out, its also a symbolism of sex too. Drivin at night just seems like sex on the streets because everything is in pink. These are truly amazing, and one of the best mods I have ever done. Also the interior has UV Black Light LED which sorta matches the pink theme. The fogs however are super white xenon though. I didnt do a xenon conversion for fogs and dont plan to.
