Wow looks great! Im assuming mini bulbs are DRLS and if so, which kind did you get? Yours does not seem as blue as the LED ones that alot of peolpe on the forum got. 6000K seems like the perfect color!

Those 6000k HID looks good, hopefully I'll get mine done soon too.

Does aftermarket HID installation involve taking out the front bumper? Or you just do everything by opening the hood and work behind the headlights?

No need to take front bumper off. Everything is done by just opening the hood.

That looks great. Do you notice any difference in your visibility range at night time?

What engine cover is that? Is that the one that came with your 250, is it from a GS?
