Default MobileHID fogs, lows and highs installed!

Bulbs came in and been sitting in my room for 3 weeks and it's finally on! Looking sexy! 3k on fogs, 8k on low and 5.5k on high. Can't really tell the diff between the DRL/high and stock ones, cause it only lits up when I turn on my high beams. It looks stock during the day I think Clifford sent me the wrong ones cause I was hoping for 6k on my high/DRLs.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Before




After





And now, I have moisture in my headlights. Brought it to the dealership today and they said they're gonna change the whole headlight due to the seal or something. Question: should I remove all my aftermarket (fogs, low, high) lights before I give it to them in case they find it suspicious? Or should I just leave em on or just take out the high/low bulbs on the driver's side?

HID fogs FTW !! Im thinking of either 3K or 6K for mine. How hard was the installation ? Did you do it yourself ?

I did it with some of my friends, it's best to have someone who is kinda knowledgeable about these stuff. You need the right tools, but do it yourself, save a few couple of hundred dollars. Recession

unless you have special relay setup, i think you should be happy DRL actually work? it's at 50% power and you are using that to ignite hid bulbs

3K's are sexy!!!...perfect compliment to the IS IMO. And if it was raining after you installed them...how did they look while driving?! 3K are usually the best illumination for bad weather.

I would remove everything and put it back the stock bulbs before they change the headlight, and once they finish put it back. Just make sure you don't re-install it when its raining outside BTW Those 3000k's are sexy as hell! I love mines!

Everything? Including the fogs? Can't I just take the bulbs from the headlight with the moisture? It's a pain to take everything out again

I think if anything, it will shorten the life of the bulb.

At the very least you have to change the headlight back to OEM..you never know what excuse they will use to deny warranty claim..trust me, I know from seeing it happen..
