They're called Halos, which belong on BMWs only. But w/e floats your boat.

no, they are a completely different light that you're adding to your assembly, they don't do anything to the actual light used for driving

ps... if you want 6000k, go with philips 6000k ultinons, good product but not cheap

alright just to help you out. Those are also on clearcorners. Check out clearcorners.com and look up your G. Talk to Mike, he'll hook you up. They usually do not include the HID. If you want HID go to DDMtuning.com and look up your bulb size. The nice thing about these HIDs is that they are bright has hell and they give you a lifetime warranty for a cheap price. Otherwise if you're looking for those halos.. Good luck they aren't cheap and they aren't just "ebayable".

If you're wanting just 6000k HIDs, get them from v-leds.com

I got mine through there, $40, work just fine and look great.

Just wondering, are these noticably brighter than other brands of hid bulbs?

I know the light output is less than the oem 06 projector hid's but is it brighter?

from what I understand, the greatest light output is the oem 4300k so this would be "brighter", as you increase the bulb temp to 6000k, 8000k, etc. you lose light output compared to the 4300k, but what you gain is in the color. The higher the temp the more white (6000k), to blue (8000k), to eventually purple (12000k) you get. Total output goes down as color goes up, lots of ppl stick to 6000k because it's the perfect compromise between output and that hot white color w/o (a) looking too rice and (b) edging towards the illegal side where you start running into fix it ticket issues, esp w. the hotter purples and blues. so the oem 4300k is the "brightest" but not the "whitest." hope that helps

^ Correct on the higher temp = lower brightness. There is a reason OEM is 4300, and that's because it's the closest to true-daylight. 6k has a definite blue tint to it.

Well i know that, but im just saying since the Phillips Ultinon's are pretty expensive they must be better lighting to them compare to like 45$ bulbs right? Thats what im trying to see because the price difference is more than double for a bulb.
