They look dim in the night shots. Doesn't look like they light up the road very well. Maybe it's the camera.

U dont have to take the wheels off to do it just turn the wheel all the way in. I turned the wheel in when I put mine in. I'll take some pics of mine tonight. Mine are a dark purple but I have absolutely no trouble seeing where I'm going at night. I did notice a very slight difference when I put them in compared to stock but I love the dark purple color rather than the bright white!!! 12000K rules!!

Can some experts give me some instructions on how to swap out the new bulbs? I remember seeing some threads about how to do this, but all the pictures from the old threads are broken.

you both know as well as I do that people who like these type of lightning setups will never admit:

1. That they are cop bait. You always get 'my buddy has these and has never gotten pulled' or 'cops in my area don't care' or 'if I get pulled I'll just pay the fine' or 'I like when cops pull me because then I get to talk dirty to a man in a uniform', etc, etc

2. That they have lost any light output because of color. You always get 'I can't tell a difference' or 'the difference is so small and these look so much cooler' or 'i don't think it matters, they are still really bright!' or 'i don't drive through dense forests' or 'I am a dwarf that can see in the dark as I spend most of my life in mountains digging for mithril!!!' etc, etc

I, for one, firmly believe that a >$30000 luxury sports car deserves better than some $100 bulbs, regardless of whether they are blue, white, purple, red or yellow. And while spending $850~$900 on OEM 06 housings and bulbs may be a little excessive even for a $30,000 car, there are many other options that cost less and produce equal results. You get what you pay for. You obviously wanted feedback from the community considering that you posted these pics (otherwise you could have printed them and put them on your bedroom walls). So my solicited opinion is that it looks like garbage.

But we can all take comfort in knowing that it really boils down to whatever makes you happy, not what makes us happy. We all have our own cars to improve (and screw up in other people's eyes).

Yep, very true. 6k is the highest you want to go before you start loosing light output.
