Thanks!
Naturally John offered me a deal on the whole package, like a good sales man should, but I declined. I don't use my fogs -- Iceman will be pleased to hear that
-- and the pre-LCI Bi-Xenons are very good anyway and have a nice blue shade to them. You are talking about replacing the Xenon lights, right?

Yes I was talking about replacing the OEM HID headlights. I just didn't like the yellowish hue in them which is why I went with the 6000K HID ones. And to me, if you do the 6000K HID fogs you have to do the 6000K HID headlights because if you don't, they will not match in color.
the LCI headlights make the lights look brighter. When I had the pre-LCI, my lights didnt lookj as bright. I guess the LCI projects more. THe pre-LCI projector gives me decent color but by no means as nice as 6000K. But LCI headlights, it looks pretty disgusting with stock 4300K. LCI headlights MUST have 6000K IMO.

Thanks for the compliments guys!
As for the price, well yeah, there's something wrong about mirrors costing that much
However I have you guys in the forum and the modding urge to help me block that out Fortunately they hold their value pretty well and should be easy to sell on.As for replacing the Xenon bulbs, I think I would need to see that in person first. I had an LCI before my current pre-LCI and straight away noticed how much brighter the pre-LCI Xenons LOOK. (I'm not talking road illumination, just looks.) For now I am happy, but no doubt that modding bug will come back again in the not too distant future and I will be revisiting this topic
Thanks for the feedback sdg1871 and John.
