They are way too bright. Put the stockers back on so you don't flash blind everyone on the street at night.

Let's not forget that they can be aimed! Little turn of the thumb wheel and it's not that bad! LOL I have mine pointed very high on the 0 setting also. I drive on the 2 or 3 setting and if I am on open road then it goes to 0. Nice mod dude!

You do not understand the difference in stock 4300K HID and 6000K HID that I swapped in. I will let you research and understand. What you said did not make sense.

What's the wattage of the D2S?
When you had the 4300k(low beam) and 6000k(fogs) are the fogs really brighter than stock or just bluish???? they said that the 4300K is the brightest

I am very happy with the results. I have had 6000K HID Fogs for almost a year now, and I hated the stock 4300K HID's.

If you didn't notice, my lowbeams have been adjusted up a bit because I wanted to actually be able to use the headlight adjustment knob, also, my car is lowered which I wanted to compensate for this with a higher headlight aim.

PS: That rear end shot shows my now *complete* exterior LED conversion.

They are the standard 35 watt, all 8 of my HID's in both of my vehicles are 35W.

The foglights are reflectors, and the lowbeams are projectors. It is like comparing apples to oranges.

I am very HID experienced, and I cannot tell the difference in output brightness between a 6000 and a 4300. The 4300 is just ugly.

I would say based on my eyes and my experience that the 6000s are every bit as bright, just prettier, regardless what the measurements say. I have however seen other colors of HID and the deeper blue's are not as bright.
