Just curious as to who has them installed? I have a 6000K on my Tib, an 8000K on my Trailblazer, and will pretty much continue to put HID's on every single car I ever own down the road. *lol*

I love mine. People make the mistake of putting them in non-projector cars sometimes and it causes problems for other drivers. Make sure you only put htem in projector type headlamps.

Thats why in most states its illegal to put HIDs in cars that do not have them stock, but cops dont care.

I too have HIDs 8000k i aim them down quite a bit as to not bother other drivers. They look nice.

Even putting HIDs in projectors will give you a bad cutoff and lots of glare. If your housing is not meant to have HIDs you'll get bad cutoff with or without projector headlamps.

I got a set of 8k for headlights, planning on 3k for fogs when I get the housing cut out of the bumper and figure out a way to mount them in.

Not necessarily do you give problems with having hid in halogen housings..

it all depends on the headlight lens/reflector style..

I have 8000K's in the x3... and i dont blind anyone.. mind you i've adjusted my headlights properly since i installed the HIDS..


and i've got 10,000K HID's in the escort (bmw projector housings) and 12,000K projector fogs. smile.gif
