Default Xenon Depot 6000k Installed!!

Xenon Depot - Philips 6000k (slim ballasts) Installed!

sorry, no pictures of the install, because i got it done at a shop for $60.00



















The pictures show the lights a little bluer than they really are. In person they look just bright diamond white. looks perfect

Yo Pimp those HID's are prolly one of the hottest ive seen out.Xenon Depot i guess is no joke, the colors perfect. Im about to get a set of Either 6k's or 8k's havnt quite decided but seeing ur lights gave me a lil more persuasion towards the 6k side!

He does an exellent job. all the visible wires are wrapped in tubing and with electrical tape on top of that. He also applied silicon on the dust covers for mine.

Ditto that. The only thing holding me back from getting HIDs (well, aside from money issues ) is that I don't think I can install them myself. For $60, if they do a good job, I'll definitely have them install it.

How long did the install take? If anything goes wrong (i.e. HIDs suddenly stop working, etc), will they take responsibility for it?

and btw johung, that's exactly how I want my lights to look.
