yup...you are correct sir



My car may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.
JBO lube - they would never have enough in stock and we'd never see RodimusPrime again

having HIDs is like having permanent high beams

The big issue with HIDS is allignment. If they are alligned properly, you won't be blinding people and won't have a problem.

You can get the HIDS from...
www.visionbulbs.com

I know there are a lot of other vendors that carry them, but that's all I can think of.

Ebay would be a last resort in my opinion.

I just have a 9006 kit on my Z, and I have just a low beam kit on my 01 Sedan... If that helps any.

Common Misconception is that the hotter the filament burns, the brighter the light which is actually quite untrue. Optimal light output comes from a bulb around 4300k - 5000k. I would recommend 6000k bulbs at the highest if your wanting the best light output. If you want the lights for the color, then by all means pick whichever tempature you favor.

www.visionbulbs.com
http://www.automotivelightingusa.com/

There is just another site i could think of.

8000k is the best compromise between color and light...has a blue tint

hmmm, now... ive seen some stock HID's turn from a yellow to a blue to a purple. in the same damn car.

i DO NOT want this, i want whatever is closest to a street glow xenon bulb. (bluest blub in my opinion and also IMO looks the best)
