I changed the setting on my camera and took these pictures, I'd say it's much closer to the actual color. The only thing I am afraid is that the light is lot brighter, hope it will not be an issue to the police...

Park on flat level ground with the headlights 25-30 feet from a wall or something else that the cutoff of the lights is clearly visible against. Make sure the cutoff is no more than 30-32 inches above the ground when measured on the wall; adjust as necessary. This should keep you in good shape. I live in Cali... you know, the state where all mods are illegal, and have followed police cars with my 5000k HIDs - no problems so far.

@CIONIDE do you have the squirrel finder removed? I'm always hesitant to follow the cops because of my HIDs

Squirrel finders are still there, but no troubles with other drivers flashing brights at me or anything else.

Here's what the cutoff looks like on HIDextra 5000k kit:

The HID's look good. Now you guys need to black out your headlight housings!!

Here's a pic of mine for reference: *I left the high beam section chrome because obviously a halogen bulb needs the reflection in order to work properly*

The blacked out headlight look is sick! I really want to do mine but afraid of messing up. Maybe I'll get another set of stocks to try. Is there a DIY on this?

Just make sure to be gentle when you take the pieces apart, and put plenty of sealer on. I haven't had any condensation in mine thankfully, but I put a ton of sealer on.

Lol, tough crowd. Looks good. Since you can see through the gill, you should get the hella horn kit. They look pretty dope and would match your car color. Plus you get to scare the bejesus out of pedestrians
