That is a very, very nice picture!
I'm leaning towards the 8000K a lot, but i'm still a little paranoid about the problem with the cops.

Have you had any problems or anything?

naaw...


(There is no traffic law about the color, BUT literally anything that is not OEM (4300K) is illegal, but since there are so many aftermarket HID's out there, most of the time the cops usually let you go if you have less than 8000K, anything above 8000K is very intimidating to the cops and is only recommended for offroad or show cars.)

-same question i had before and this is what michelle told me..

Yeah. Well, it sucks that they let 'fancy' cars have them. Anyway. I'm thinking in changing the 'driving' lights to a whiter color, but i can't find what the right bulb is. I see you changed yours... can you tell me what type of bulb you used?

If you use you highbeams a lot it is not that smart to get hids, it is not good to keep switching them on and off. They say is will shorten the life of the bulb. I think you have plenty of light on the road now

You should have no problem with the 8000k. Especially if you havce projector head lights. I'm currently running 8000k and never got flashed or bothered by cops at all.

but.. I'm sure if you have the 07 headlight and below... it would be much brighter! That might be a bigger problem for you.

08superwhite, I like the look of your headlights there. I was going to go 5000k but since it has a tint of yellow, I might just go with 6000k. What I'm confused with this kit, 6000k is diamond white, but on other kits it is a bluish color.

I have the 5k kit, they're pretty white for the most part. But there is a slight yellow if you like really focus on it up close.

tC cruise was awesome! I know there wasn't as many as last time but I just love just driving in general adn with other tC's (no matter how many) always makes it better.

Just looked at it. That's pretty much straight white. I'm not wanting any problems with any popo period. I do like yours though.
