Not the best pics, took them with my cell, but they'll do until I get some high quality ones. I love them so far but still haven't been out past dark...

I love mine as well. Took me forever to adjust my headlights perfect. If you want to know under the second tab on straight side of the headlight is a screw to aim them, just as heads up.

and soon you'll realize how much they suck at night without projector lenses.

I have a set also. Love them!

I did a pretty good job adjusting them so they don't blind anyone and still give good light output onto the road...

Adjusting them was a PITA though haha.

Thanks guys, I probably will have to adjust them a little but but they should be at a good starting point.

just wait until it rains, and you cant see anything. or when there's a lot of ambient light but not enough to light the street. your HID's in the halogen housings arent gonna do jack shyt. trust me i know.

well I hardly ever drive the car in the rain so I'm not worried about that, and I don't see how additional ambient lighting to the headlights would make them worse, doesn't really make sense. My main question is do people just think they're not as good in halogen housings because they're better in projectors? From what i can tell the HID is in the exact same spot in the housing as the halogen bulb was, and the beam of light coming out of the headlight looks pretty focused. I walked out a ways in front of the car and there is no blinding glare coming off the headlights like a lot of people say there is, so I'm wondering how many people are just running their mouths so they can sound like they know what they're talking about...

I just ordered a set of bi-xenons from vvme.com...should be here by the weekend, I can't wait!

I got 8000k, wanted a hint of blue to accent the DFG :thumbsup:

And as far as them "not working"...I can't see ANYTHING at ANY TIME with my silverstars...so these will be an absolute upgrade.

exactly my point. With the smoked headlights the bulbs that worked just fine in the stock housings didn't throw crap for light with the smoked lights even on the high beams, the HIDs are much, much better.

looks great. I still need to get a hid kit for my fogs. Bothers the hell out of me that they don't match.
