Default 4300k HID low beam video

Wanted to give some of you an idea of what 4300K looks like in our GXs.

I haven't been out on the road yet to comment on performance.

Video from T2i, 60fps, 1/60, f2.8, WB daylight

HIDs from www.theretrofitsource.com

Awesome vid Blair!

Would you recommend 4300k's for the headlights? I want to make the upgrade myself but see some on here do the 6000k for the headlights? I want them too look like the the RX and some of the german cars with the blue eyes

Nice--What brand if HID's do you have? Oh never mind I see it! never heard of them before. Reason I asked they seemed to have full Brightness the moment you cut them on, instead of the normal warm up period?

I had 4300K and loved them---then I switched to 5K just because lol--and I like the 5K a little better

i had to do multiple takes to get the exposure correct. so they were warm. i can do a cold start-up video if you want.

No thats ok, understand now!! Is it a HID kit or Retrofit? What did it cost for everything
Never heard of that brand of ballast/bulbs either, but from what I read off their site they seem like a nice set up for sure!

Very nice, Blair. Now, you have me hooked on embarking on a project. Will consider both in and out HID lighting....

HID outside is great but I think you're eyes will be much happier w/ just LED lights on the inside
