Talking HIDs at last!

I visited Kansai Xenon Service this weekend, and had XenonDepot 6000K HIDs, 5 LED refractor parking lights, and Halo Xenon Plasma Yellow fogs installed by Harrison. Highly recommended! I mentioned how I wanted to eventually get yellow fogs, and he told me he had a pair and would let me decide if I want them or not after he installed one. It's definitely not as yellow as the 1st Gen IS, but it'll do.

Here are some before and after pics. They are not as blue in real life as the first picture would suggest. Actual output color is closer to the pic I took with the flash on.



with flash:



If anyone is still debating whether to get HIDs or not, don't even think twice! I knew I would get better visibility, but seriously, the difference between halogens and HIDs is no joke. Definitely worth the price. I'm loving them!

There's a URL on the business card, www.kansaixenon.net, but it doesn't seem to be working. Maybe it's in the works.
