[QUOTE="Lexicon740iL, post: 8129676, member: 649368"] Don't do HID's in the highbeams.... The constant cycling "turning them on and off for oncoming traffic" really cut's down the life and lumen output of a Xenon bulb. Like the other guys have mentioned it's already going to glare and mess with other drivers because your mounting them in a non project headlight housing with no cut off that's not designed to house or reflect a Xenon bulb properly. As for the fogs. Get a 35W HID kit for those too. You can also use a xenon match type standard bulb in the fogs and high beams to better match the color temp of you HID lows. I like Hoen [URL="http://www.hoen-usa.com/"]Hoen[/URL] it might be hard a little harder to find one that's 8000K......6000K is alot more common. I run 6000K in my cars. Here is my x with Upgraded 12W 6000K LED Angel Eye's and Matching 6000K HID fogs. My lows are 6000K as well.
