[QUOTE="Phoenix Risen, post: 7505677, member: 623425"] one thing to remember when going with hid is the fact that in a lot of states it is illegal to run them with out having projector headlights for the simple fact that there is no cut off line with hid bulbs when they arn't controlled by the cases. another thing to consider is that the hotter/bluer you go with them the less light they actually put out. the whitest and brightest will be 4300/5000k and a big part of the reason people get mad about others with hid owners is the fact that they disperse the light so widely and are not controlled which means the shine in people eyes just as brights would. also having hid brights isnt the best idea since with the turn on delay they have they cant be used for signaling as halogen bulbs can.
