Is it worth upgrading the headlights..
So I CAN'T change those to HID then? You need the daytime runninglights, and HID cant run at different brightness?
What are you moving the beam angles from? The projectors? Granted they seem dim, but when I shine them on my garage door, they seem to be the right height?
Has anybody seen the lights move right to left? I havnt seen that yet on mine.

You can change the low beams if you have an old GS no HID, and you can change the fog lights?
ANy bulb you can make an HID with a kit and bulb. NP.
So what do you think about this idea...
1) Daytime driving lights (which is the middle lights, which is also my hi-beams?) I'll do a bulb swap to something like silverstars. It'll be more "white" than that dull yellow.
2) Swap the stock HID stock lowbeams (outer housing, the projectors) from the 4300k to maybe 5000 or 6000. What color are those blueish acura. I don't want it too blue and loose light output, but the stock ones seem just "a off-white to yellow tint" Would 5000k be good?
3a) Either buy those exspensive HID JDM fog lights
3b) Or add a hid kit (Is there enough room to add the ballist and everything?) to it and maybe angle them a bit more down so not to blind people?

2.I have 6000K's in my lows. I am not sure if they make 5000K. If they do it's a nice compromise between the 4300K OEM and the 6000K I have. technically with the 5000's if they even make, and my 6000K's I have less actual light than the stock OEM 4300K. To my eyes, I can't see that at all. To me I see more, cause it's a more purpleish light rather than the stock light. Although mine are 6000K which is obviously higher, to MY EYES, I see more/better.
3.personally id go with xenondepot.com, not JDM's, xenondepots are very thin ballasts easy to double side tape anywhere or mount underneath no problem.
and yes you can adjust the angle.
off to buy some replacement HID bulbs.
Oh another thing today thats irking me. If youfollowed me in my buying process, I moved up a car class cuz the car seats fit. Well today is the first time I opened the back doors to load up the seat(I didnt drive at all yesterday.) and I couldn't open my back door. Its a LONG door compaired to my maxima, it hits a storage rack I have in the garage by about 1.5in. augh!
Now I have to redo the garage just to open the door.

How long have you guys had your car and how often do you drive with the headlights on? The OEM bulb is suppose to color shift around 100 hours. It should be white with a hint of blue to it. When I just got my bulbs, they were yellow as the sun. After driving with them for awhile, they're more white now.
GSteg- Ok. I'll hold off on getting the replacement fo rthe main lights. I didnt get the bulb replacement for the daytime/hi lights. I was told it would make no difference. It'll still look yellow, although hi lights would look white. But I never drive with high lights so I passed.
I saw the a hid kit for the fog lights. The store sayd $450-500 to buy and install it. SOmething called Halo brand. Looked like rebranded philips.

get from xenondepot and insert the CL discount #. It saves you about 50 bucks I think if my memory serves me correct.
Thin ballasts and easy to install.
Took me 4 hours, but I'm dealing with the 450h, where I have no room at all, plus my battery is in the trunk. So I had to wire directly to fues box. Just took more intuitive thinking than actual work. Wanted it to be perfect.
Let me see pics after you do whatever it is your going to do.

The stock OEM low beams, although from inside look yellowish compared to the HID 6000K fogs, from a distance oncoming, they look bluish.... and will get bluer with time.
I purchased a pair of 6000K bulbs for my low beams, but have yet to put them in.
I've never had a problem with the kits I've installed on any previous car that didn't already have HID all over. (maybe I am just lucky, and if so great!
