Arrow GREEN HIDs I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THEM UNTIL MY FRIEND CAME THRU PICS INSIDE !

So my boy got him a Lexus IS350 and first thing I noticed was Green Hid Xenons he had on his ride. It was something different, here in NYC you see blue, superwhite, and purple. But these Green HIDs are sick they represent money my boy said. He bought the bulbs off ebay for $70. They are 3000K Green. The visibility is like stock 4300k. Imma cop some. What you think ?

An officer would think, "Sweet, I can unload a fix-it ticket on this guy."

Theoretically speaking, lol

I would worry about the reliability of these fake colored lights more than anything.

Um... yeah. 3000K is usually a yellow. Fake/cheap bulbs tend to put out greenish color. I have some in my closet... might install them or not. Not sure yet.

Me think it's fake numbering on the packaging, instead of 3000K it should be 2000000K (that's Hulk green or gammar green lol).
