Mike,

Does it look pure white or is there a blue or purple tint to your lights? Hard to tell from the pictures.

Thanks

Hey Mike did you connect your kit to the battery?? Could you post up some pictures of the wiring in the engine bay? I've heard a lot that it gets pretty messy.

...Still waiting on xenondepot for my set to get shipped out as well.
It is a little messy, I still did not drill the holes in the dust covers due to laziness but if I had time, I can hide it really well. Yes I did connect it to the battery and make sure you get a good ground because I didn't connect it to a good ground, lights wouldn't light up. The cables that came with it did not reach to the grounding point so I had to splice it for it to reach. Install was a breeze tho. Will post pix when it stops rainning in NY.

If I were to choose pure white, I would have gone with the 4300k but the next level up was 6000k. XD used to have a 5000k but not sure what happened to it. So color is white with a light tint of blue. In my opinion, it is not "ricey" at all since I am a no-no to "rice" and it does make a huge difference in light output.

And Steve @ XD is the best!

Great, I'll probably get the same ones you go. I want a slight bluish to it, but not too much.

Yea, just left them open, doubt that anything is going to happen but I will get them covered up before I drive in the rain. Engine bay rarely gets wet unless I get a car wash.
