AdvancedOptik 5,800K

That pic was taken while my car was timing down after well over 30min of driving... just to illustrate that these bulbs don't change colors, dim, or fade after they're fully warmed up.

The only thing that worries me is the price, and why they are so cheap. I did extensive research on HIDs a while back, and I found that price are very proportional to the quality of the bulbs and ballasts. Believe it or not, HIDs are one thing that the more you pay, the better the product.

I've also seen some bad experiences first-hand and from friends from bad HID bulbs and kits. Any pair of HID bulbs for less than $200+ will make me .

The picture looks great tho' ct9a. May I ask how long you had them for? Also, have you noticed the brightness decreased at all compared to the stock sets? Sometimes even if the color on HID bulbs look great, they "cheat" in the making of the bulb in order to make it a certain hue (i.e. tinting the glass bulb, etc.) and as a result, the light is filtered and you end up with a less brightening set of headlights. This is an example of a cheap set of HIDs.

I'll let ya know whenever my bulbs poop out on me (which, I'd assume, should be never). I agree to a certain extend that you get what you pay for... but I don't like paying just for a brand name.

Yeah, I heard a few things about the meet, but didn't know date and if I was free. Work has been killing me.

You mind giving me the location and times? I'll definitely check it out if I have time.

Sorry for the , .
