Just Lighting up ! I think these are just enough to the drivers blind from otherside, FACTORY's spec is just 4,500K for the front lamp,
Haha I bet its "just enough" to blind the on comming traffic.
From the pics it looks nice!
But from what I understood or heard... once you hit over 6000K the light output starts to decrese... you wont see as "far" up ahead as you would with 4500Ks and it not really "white" anymore... more like blue / purple once you hit 9000K So thats why I'm curious how the light is with 10000K and 12000K

NICE it looks good! Are they just bulbs or is it an actual HID kit? With ballasts and all?
