Looks cool, but I think I'd be paranoid of cops pulling me over all the time, heh.

Nice lights but too blue for me, should have waited for the XD 6000k. How did you get through to the dust covers? I still have yet to drill it due to laziness.

thanks everyone, and yea they are 8000K. They arent from Xenon Depot, i was on on back order since 5/2 and my HIDs still havent been sent out so i hadda cancel, even tho steve was a easy going and did as much as he can. I got them from some place in Long Island on Sunrise Highway in Freeport, they charged me 375 for the Kit and Installation, so I cant answer how i got passed the dust cover, even though when i walked into the shop at ont point my bumber was off.

There is no "legal" temperature - if it was installed as OEM (came with the car) they're legal. If they were installed aftermarket, they're illegal. Although, I think if the dealership were to install them that would satisfy the requirment and you would be technically legal.

uh....why? my HID install took like 2 hours only because I was taking my sweet time....there was no need at all to remove the bumper.

as long as everything is back to normal, I guess its ok, but there's a ****load of sensors behind the front bumper I bet.
