Default HID pics

Okay, I took some pictures of my HIDs last night and tried to capture the color, but it is tough! Light acts funny on this camera...

This parking lot was pitch black and a couple of acres large. I actually should have taken pics of it by itself with no light first.

Some of these pics don't accurately depict my setup. They look quite different in person. First there is no no light flare like the camera picked up and the beam pattern is much fuller and intense than what is shown here. The last few pictures got pretty grainy and gross. I'm going to retake them tonight. I'm also looking for a BMW X5/540iL with OEM HID to compare the lighting for myself. My friend has Audi S8 HIDs in his Jetta VR6. I'm going to compare with his HIDs as soon as his car gets out of the shop.

If there are any guys in the Bay Area that want to see the X5s in person, we can meet up somewhere and you can see what they really look like. Essentially they look exactly like a BMW.

No, the wheels cost $550, the HID parts cost me $500 . Actually the going price for this gear varies from $475 to $525.
