Hey I am new here, I have a 2000 gs 400 ...that's me...I wanted to know which one of the wedge buld would match a 12000k hid kit, and which is the best kit....blue lamp, white light on the floor. I know someone here can help me. I like the BELLOF ARTIC WHITE SMD LED. I want to order some of those bulbs.

U should ditch that 12k kit and go with 4100-4300k or 6000k.

12k is so dim and blue, bad idea imho

and in short, no way you can match the color. probably get a bulb and paint it blue.... that's your best bet

You can buy it at http://www.viptuning.com

As for seeing it in person, you will have to wait until the spring as the only person in your area that has one will not put them on until the spring with the rest of his mods.

There may be but no one has found one yet (reasonable cost of course ). I am sure many on here will wish you luck in this endeavor but after a number of failed attempts, I am not holding my breath. I would love to be surprised, however.
