Thumbs up I just put in my HID's!

I got the purplish K2 ones. They're supposed to be the same as Visions. I'll try to post pictures...too bad it's still daytime though.

here's a new picture at night, from across the parking lot

Howie, are you going to get brighter fog light bulbs now? The h.i.d. headlights are a big improvement! You lucky bastard.....

Howie looks like your back from Vegas Those look tight and I do not think they look to purpleish.You should upgrade the rest of the bulbs to complete the look.

I bought yellow bulbs for my fogs, but I haven't had time to install them. And I will change the parking light bulbs, but I think I'm gonna change them to an amber color. I don't like mismatched "hid-look" bulbs.

I got the lights for $500 shipped, but I think there's a group buy on www.groupbuycenter.com for the same lights for cheaper. Bastards...wish I knew ahead of time...

Edogg, they are REALLY purple. The camera just doesn't capture the color well for some reason. I wish the lights did look like the pictures turned out...

LOL. Looks kinda like my 80 dollar PIAA lights. Do some pictures at night so we can see the real difference.

See how purple they are? Look at the foreground, where the beam initially hits the floor. It's THAT purple! I don't know whether or not it's a good thing. Here's another picture...

I don't know about the watts, but the bulbs are supposed to be the ones that run at 9000k or something like that
