It makes me feel like as if I forgot to turn on my headlight.
Please advice.

Can anyone tell me how UV in lowbeams with Yellow in high beams would look? Would they combine ok, or would it look funny; in your opinion. Scott from Luminics, i think you mentioned you had this setup in your car...can you elaborate on my question? Thx

Ok due to techincal difficulties right now I will not be able to post pictures. But believe me it looks NICE!!!!!!!!!!! I have the yellows for the highs and it is unbelieable! The UV lows are very nice, not to puple-ish at all. I like the way it lights up the signs on the road. The yellow highs are very nice also when it is on and shining on things. Well let me stop making ya guys drool and YA GUYS should just order them. I can believe you will not be dissapointed.
Peace
BUT stay tuned for pictures soon

Guys stop nitpicking already...
I just put in my UV's tonight in my tC and they are the bomb. They look great, better and brighter than stock, and look crisper and cleaner, if that makes any sense.
They're $25, free shipping and a 1 year guaranatee...ya can't beat that! I was gonna drop twice that on some crappy Silverstars...these are better.
Enough of the pic requests...just get them already ya cheapskates...

Here are a couple more photos w/ the UV, taken from inside the car. It's really hard to take good night shots w/ a point-n-shoot digital cam that can get the color and brightness correctly. The color and brightness is more accurately shown in the first photo (which, IMO, is a pretty cool photo, with that lonely street lamp on the right side 
)

ScionGolf, is it really THAT bad...not being able to see your lights at all even with street lights around doesn't sound normal?

you're right, it's not quite as bright as I expected, about par to the regular or even a bit dimmer.... I think it's less intense/focused overall and have a lot more fall off. I noticed it to be overwhelmed by certain car's stock light (ie Chrysler 300C), but I'd need to see how it is side by side w/ another tC w/ stocks

Just ordered the HW High and Low for my tC. Will take some pics as soon as I get em so you guys can compare to the UV. Been impressed with all the things said here about Luminics hope it all works out!
