The purple bulb you can see in the picture is what i want to change. When my running lights are on it turns the light pink. NOT the actual lighting just that purple bulb. Thats what i want to change it looks horrible

^^ if you wanna change the lense out, might as well get back those OEM headlights and put the halos in yourself. That'd be easier then changing the lense.

I think you have four options:

1. Mod your 07 lights, i e, putting the halos into your oem lights.

2. Retro your aftermarket lights: changing out the projector.

3. Buy a different HID kit, higher temp, like 8k and above.

4. Buy another set of aftermarket lights without the purple lens.


Good luck to you.

1. Yes, retrofitting them yourself is hard and time consuming. Yes, if you hire a custom shop like Lightwerkz, they are expensive.

2. SEARCH!!! or go to the top of the page, look under FEATURES, then TECH, and scroll.

3. Temp in HIDs affect the color, higher the temp, bluer the color, but you sacrifice visibility. 4300k is the brightest, but has a tinge of yellow. 6000k is pure white, and 8000k is bluer still. 12000k is going purple and not very bright. So with a different temp color, you may affect different color in your output.

Well i was planning on gettin 8000k HIDs in a few months.
I thought that it could change the pink lense color to hopefully blue or something

Do you think that might work?
