According to Xenondepot, I am supposed to have my lights tomorrow,...so, IF that happens, I will post pics of the change....and give my opinion on the value / worth of the kit.

Default pics!!!! !!!!

Ok.. the verdict is............

DOPE!!!

Brighter,... good color,... good intensity,.... I like 100%

Running PIAA GT-R Ion H3's for fog's and PIAA LED for the park lights... I think the HID Plasma FX H3's would be better, so I may change those out in the few weeks.

Here's the pics from different angles, with and without the fog lights.

Wow that looks awesome! What colour are those HID's? 4100k or 6000k?

They look a little bluish, so I'm guessing 6000k eh?

During summer I must pick some up now.

They are the phillips 6000K,... very clear / clean light,... I don't care for the 4100K's,... look kinda non-exotic to me.

It was easy,... I paid CarToys to do it,.... took him about an hour,...and they did a very clean job. It didn't appear too difficult,...but then again, they install HID's all the time. I wanted them in ASAP and put in by someone who could be held liable for the installation / replacement, in the event of a mistake.

Looks pretty good. Has anyone hi-beamed you yet? How is the cutoff?

no high beams as of yet,... the cutoff is still that of the factory lights,... real sharp, and not much bleed off above.
