Squarehat & Rominl - Thanks for the vote of confidence...

Like Squarehat said, Audi headlights are NOT blue. What you're seeing is the "color flicker" that I was talking about...if you want get, do the projector conversion. It should cost only a little more than doing those crappy ricer 7000K+ HID's...

And 7000K HID's look at as bad as fake HID Halogens...they really don't look that "cool"...I just hate to see Lexus owners rice out their rides like it's some cheap *** honda POS....

"ehh..i'd rather have the 7000K w/ a bit less light output than just plain old halogens...i dont really care all that much about lighting the road up....i just want my lights to look nice"


Hum. You care less about lighting up the road so you can look nice? I mean civics toss on TYPE S R M SVT emblems on their car and they think they look nice to.

yup, everything manaray said is correct. imho, if the car is purely for a show car, yes, 7500 or even 8000k is good looking. but if you wanna make the car practical, 6000k is the max. a lot of people think my car with 6000k is just like audi already.

ok ok...i got the point....im just saying...if im goin HID i wanna make sure that the lights are blue/purple...i've seen pretty bad HID kits out there..and i really do care more about looks than lighting...i mean...lighting wise my stock halogs are fine enough...but the reason most ppl get HIDs is more for the aesthetic value rather than lightin up the road...i mean...stock halogs are fine for lighting up the road....if you want the extra pretty look...get HID
