Yes, they work great.
Xenondepot.com. They are also a forum sponsor so if you have any other questions go to the lighting section and PM them.
Also, if you need more, just search, there are plenty of threads in this section about HIDs.

do all projectors have the metal peice to reflect the light or just the projectors on our cars?

6000K is the color you want it is as close as you can get to the "real" thing you see on Acuras etc.

If you are referring to stock HID as the "real thing" then that is not true.

4300K is stock temperature color.

what about using 8000 or 10000 hid's. does anybody have this light on, and how good do they light up the road. i like to be able to light up everything.

If you want everything lit up, go with 4300K or whatever is closest, besides 3000K, 3000K is yellow and it mainly for foglights but..ricers..what can you do?

8000K = Blue
10000K = Purple
You will light up less the higher you go, bigger number doesnt mean brighter, but higher temp. Stick with 6000K, I had some 6Ks on my Tundra and they were great.

Put them on you wonder why you waited so long. Mines is 8k.

i just installed a set into my 96 gs300. The hid setup was originally from a mercedes. Ill be honest, as of right now i think i had better lighting with my original lights. Is there something i did wrong???!!!! Ive owned alot of cars with HIDs (all hondas without projector lights) and those lit up the road alot more than im experiencing right now.. Any recommned anything??

Perhaps its due to the fact that those perticular bulbs are designed for a projector system.

my 96 gs300 has projectors!!!????

Nitro, my brother got me a pair of HIDs for Christmas and when he installed them, there was a gap in the light pattern immediately in front of the car. Most of the light was thrown to the sides. Is this what you are seeing? The bulb design for the original kit was not suited for use in projector headlamps (and yes, you have projectors). He sold that kit and got me a pair from xenondepot.com. He confirmed with the guy there that they work with projectors and have been used on a number of first gen GS300s and SC3/400s.

I drove the car at night for the first time last night. The HIDs are incredible. I recommend getting them from xenondepot.com. They may be more expensive than what you have, but they work great and are worth it.
