My $60 HIDs

I got a set of 8000k JDM D2C (fits both D2R and D2S housing) from MotoringMax back in June 2007. The quality is a lot better than I expected, because they cost only $59 and they are now still shining like stars.

here's a few pictures taken from my crappy cellphone.

its going to be hard to get a good guage of output differences because the change in color tricks your eyes due to the increased contrast

from what i heard, those bulbs don't even last no longer then a year. if your into changing your HIDs every year then go for it. i like the 6000k but nothing higher than that.
