Lastly my car is lowered and now it seems I'm out driving my lights. Is it simple to adjust the headlights?

good write up, I just ordered my bulbs (about 10 min ago). They have it in stock and will ship overnight, so hopefully I'll put these in tomorrow night after work (i don't get off 8pm though). Bought it from some place in Houston, only 60 bucks for the pair shipped. Will post pics....

These pictures are from some Acura forums of the Phillips 6000k Ultinon's. I don't know if its the camera or what but the bulbs are WAY too blue for my liking.

Here are some more pictures. The car on the left is a Mini with HIDs. The car on the right is the Acura with Phillips bulbs.





Also a picture while warming up:


And a picture when they are fully warmed up:

i bought 6000k in a different brand. It shines perfectly WHITE, I have a set in my tC, had one in my TL (just sold the TL two days ago), and have a set in my bro's honda accord. I'll post up pics of the tC tomorrow (it's storming today). And hopefully tomorrow night i'll post up pics of my G35

How long will they last?

here's some GHC's on the accord:

How much wattage for these bulbs? and anyone know the OEM bulb wattage? Just curious what kinda bulbs it can handle... I never had HID but on my other cars but for instance on my maxima, i put on higher wattage bulbs..and they seem to burn out easily... even PIAA bulbs...

I can promise you that the bulbs are not that blue. I'd never buy them if they were. They are about as blue as BMW & Audi lights.

Who's they? Only 60 bux?! Everyone else is selling them for 150+. You got a link?

I email the person that I buy them from, They aren't phillip's ultinon, they are just some generic bulb, i don't know the brand, but i have bought other lights from this person, and run them in some of my cars for ~2 years with NO problems...
