Makes my plug-n-play 6000K's look like garbage, very nice

Your SC is looking good as always, what mufflers are those?

thanks, at first I thought about putting some 4300K phillips PnP kit, but then after I researched more into it and seeing a couple of comparison pics and output shots much like these I realized that a retrofit is the best way to go. So here is my contributions, hope others will be inspired as well

hahaha, I was hoping nobody would catch that...I actually have the bulbs sitting...somewhere. Just haven't really bothered to drag myself to put them in.

Thanks, I was actually thinking of trading them for some CCW Classics, but I'm too much in love with the color match

How do HIDs work exactly, as far as buying them goes? What's the difference between buying a set of bulbs that they label as HID or buying packages that include some exterior "pack" of sorts?

I haven't really paid too much attention to it which is why I do not understand the differences on eBay.
