Check out the 10M model. There is actually a DIAL that comes w/that the adjusts the intesity/color of the light so you can have ANY light you want. 475bucks!

I should've bought these. A little too late I guess.

Yeah plus you know Hella is a reputable name along with Osram. I hear those two are the most reliable/ best looking HID's around. Yesterday my friend who sells HID's told me that they had some problems with the K2 bulbs blowing up on customers right when they first got them

There is no way I would screw around with this deal. It's too good to be true which usually means your a** will be hurting after you pay. Save up and get the real deal.

Just my $.02

How is it conrolling color when color is controlled by gas mixture in the HID capsule? The dial is most likely a poteniometer feeding variable power to the ballasts. Not good to fluctuate power to the ballasts, this make it unstable in theory. Remember it is essentially a fixed voltage transistor board. I see this as just a more complex circuit with exponentially more potential problems, and more wear and tear on the bulbs and ballasts. Not only that, but I'll bet the brightness fluctuates with the color too.

Lex400, What the hell are you talkin' about man. You're proliferating on the verbiage so that people don't understand the thesis of your soliloquy.

Just messin' with you. But you were kinda deep on that last post!
