Very nice! Are they Bi-xenons? How much did you pay for them? 6000k? I want to get HIDs pretty badly, I just would rather spend the money on the turbo parts I need.

I got them off of Ebay for 74 bucks plus 38 i think for shipping but they come with a 3 year warranty, they are H4's, 8000K. but no they arent BI's.
i said the same thing cause i wanna spend more on a motor swap but they are worth it they are absolutely amazing!
here's the ebay title so you can find em.

I had hids for a lil bit and loved them
They were bixenons and IMO they were a waste well the high beams were the low beams did more than normal high beams and the hids high would light up the top of palm trees but not the road LOL

I had HIDs... just switched back to Halogens a couple weeks ago. Nothing beats stock wiring, cheap bulbs, and no hassle.

I used 5000k Nokya (a good brand) halogen bulbs... nice white light for clean appearance and illumination, and lights up the road better than Sylvania Silverstar Ultras.

Price? $21.50 shipped.

well if people are flashing you then you need to aim them down a bit... i have mine for along time and i dont get flashed hardly any! i only get flashed maybe once every few months from someone dumb.

i got the BI hids and love them because i can flash back and really show them BRIGHT LIGHTS.LMFAO

id love to have some retrofit hids BUT that upgrade isnt cheap at all! and i got better stuff i want before then maybe one day tho.
