Cool 4300k HID kit installed

I got the 4300k HID kit last thursday & I've been itching to install it. I've been busy with school & work so I finally got to do it sunday. I took a minute to take a few quick pictures of them. I guess, I have it on a wrong setting because its over exposed & it seems to glare but it really doesn't.

This first pic would be the best representation of it not glaring but I guess it's the angling since I'm standing right beside the car. You can see clearly that the halogens are yellow.


I just ordered another set of HIDs for the fogs & I have a bunch of polarg m4's coming in.


At the bottom of the wall, you can see the cut off line of the passenger side headlamp, the driver side cut off line is on the floor so that it doesn't glare at on-coming traffic on two way streets.


Thanks for looking.. any comments, compliments, flames etc. welcome but hopefully everyone approves.. I really do try to lean away from rice although I love eating it.

I was so happy with the HIDs for the low beams that I just had to get HIDs for the fogs. So here are some pictures of the 4300k HIDs in the low beams & fogs.

I just put in Polarg M4 into the parking lights & it's coming out a little bit on the purple side. The ones that I put in the license plate lights are bright white. (see last photo)


I swear that it's only the picture that glares & not in person. This picture was taken 3 ft away from the wall & in the next picture you can see that the cut off line is at the bottom of the wall.


I dont know why some people think that 4300k HID reflect yellow on the road. It seems pretty white to me.


Well, these are my LED tail lights & Polarg M4 in the license plate light.

Was upgrading from the stock fog lights to the HID fog light difficult to do? I just my HID fogs in and need some help getting them installed properly.

Any directions?

thanks,
Kent

The toughest part is hooking up the wire harness, after that you just have to find a mounting place for the ballast then it's like changing a bulb.
