It would probably be about the same as the SC...

The projector is the same one.. (size and projection).

This is how it will look:

HID 4100K kit: Yellowish/Whitish Output
HID 4700K kit: Whitish Output
HID 5500K kit: Light Blue Hue/Whitish
HID 6000K/7000K: Distictive Blue/Very White in center
HID 7700K kit: Very Blue
HID 8000K/11000K Kit: Purple/Pink

I guess you have a point, a HID 5500K kit: Light Blue Hue/Whitish would be amazing, but I dont plan on keeping the car more than another year or 2 at the most. Maybe its worth it. I will definetly look into it.

Thanks for the link, what kind did you end up going with for you '97? Did you ever even consider doing an after market converter kit for an HID system? If so, any idea how much it'd cost?

Get SilverStars (4100K)...unless you really want to step
up to the best. The most popular motorsport company
in Japan, RÄZO, makes halogen headlight bulbs.

RÄZO Premium White ZERO bulbs carry 4550K
color temperature. Produces brighter light using less
power with the increased whiteness of H.I.D.

This is my next headlamp purchase. I'll move my
SilverStars to the foglamp sockets.

how are you moving your silverstars to the fogs, are those not H3 bulbs?
