Default Question on Hid's

Sup guys, Mr. doesnt know much here is askin out to you guys about these Hids. Im asking apon the plug in and go ones. I was thinking about buying em from here. http://www.luminicsbulbs.com/
and just wanted to know if the bright whites glow pink like Ive seen some. or should I go with the blue ones. I see people with those bright blue lights driving down the street and was wondering which bulbs are those? Is there anywhere else I can buy em? Also, are there a certain type for my 06 tc? and they are legal right? =/ ? lol TIA

Those are not HID's, but HID lookalike bulbs, and like HID's they are not technically legal.

The Real HID kits will run minimum around 300 for the pair with ballasts... and in the sponsored sales section, you can find a couple sets.

These do give out some good light and people have been impressed with them... if you want a more cost-effective blueish solution, these may suit you....

LED's are good for turn signals and the little lights under you low beams (The city lights), but not good for headlights like low beams or high beams.... if you want DOT legal headlights, silvania makes a kind called Silverstar and also TrueBlue that you can get at local car parts stores that are whiter or bluer than stock, but still street legal....

They are the whitest and bluest you can go while retaining DOT legality....

The chances you'll get hassled with anything other than SUPER blue lights, is pretty slim anyways though...

If you're concerned though, you'll probably be happiest with the silverstars or trueblues.
