6000K Lowbeams + 6000K Fogs = Schweeet Lighting! (pics)



Today I pulled out my stock 4300K Bulbs and swapped in some 6000K D2S.

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.

I adjusted them using a 10mm socket and my fingers. There is a 'how too' on evolutionm.net. Beware the gears slip and you have to help them with your fingers. I had a huge blister on my thumb from this for a week. It was WELL worth it I love the aim I have now. This was done last November after I lowered my car (I have megan adjustable coilovers)

I did that adjustment a few years ago and made sure they didn't slip but it keeps readjusting back to stock level. Now, each time I turn my lights on they bop up and down for a couple of minutes. O well.

I don't know, I have had it aimed this way since Nov 07, it's stayed the same for me.

with your 6000K Fogs, they're super bright. Nice, HID all the way! I have HID kits on all my cars, never use halogen again.

I want to do the highbeams but I just cant find a damn place to put the ballasts. Where are you guys putting your foglight ballasts? I have mine hidden in the corner but its too hard to explain where. I would love to see some ballast-placement-photos.

I cant stand bright lights like that. There was a car coming at me with bright lights, so I flashed my brights because I thought theirs was on. Before they even flashed their brights I was pretty much blind. Too bright of lights are just too dangerous imo.
