That looks awesome! Thanks Redlude, only I was hoping for something quite a bit more easier. Like walking into the local auto parts store, picking up a brand name bulb recommended for what I want, and just popping it in.

Not too mechanically/technically inclined on much more than that. Mostly cause I dont have tools and such.

Its a cool idea, but it sounds way to costly and time consuming. i dont want to start hacking up expensive headlights.

My sisters boyfriend has 3k HIDs in the foglights of his STi, and although bright, i dont notice glare or anything when hes comming at me or behind me. i think you only have to worry about that on cars with crap HID kits that are all aimed in the air and stuff.

I pmd IvoryGT for ****s and giggles though.

If anything I would go with the 3k's...they offer better visibility than the 5k...The 5k might give you that white color you may be looking for
