H.I.D.'s are ON!**UPDATE** TONS OF PIC INSIDE
HERE WE GO:
Hey , just installed my 8000k HID kit i picked up from ebay. And allow me to say that it is simply amazing. The silverstars looks pale and yellow compared to these lights of course but also the driving quality and the second look i get is very pleasing. Its cold as a bastard so im gonna get some pics up soon if it get a bit over freezing here. Also the cut off line is perfect for these headlights and there is no blinding effect when driving because i got into my friends car and he followed me to see. I am very happy and hopefully youll be to when ya get em. :-)

thats the kit, the guy that sold it to me was fast and responsive, now i look foward to driving at night... and if you guys ever get something similar ill help ya with the install but trust me this is one of the easiest bolt ons i have ever done.... left headlight has plenty of mounting points for the ballast but the right has the battery, fuse box, and air box.....i finangled it in there somehow but the result is amazing.. i could never go back.. pictures are comming tommorow night.. promise :-)

NICE!!>...
how much was the kit?..
i think blue/minty headlights are illegal.
along with my white/blue turn signals in NJ
230 fine for turn signals and i think about the same for the headlights..
correct me if im wrong..
does it really look that blue from far away.. like the xenon's?
or is it just the camera compensating...
but anywhoo... they look great!

they are a hair whiter, but they are legal 6000k and 8000k are legal which those are... but when u get to 10k(all blue) and 12k(all purple) then your illegal buddy.... the kit cost 3 bills and i put up a link to the guy on ebay above... he doesnt have 100% feedback for nothing.. fast and friendly service.. and thanks for the compliment
