Good job....They look really good, but it looks to me like they are less powerful than the stock HID's. I plan on going with maybe the 6000K, so I don't lose as much intensity...

I really like the blue color they emit.....

I didn't loose intensity. What I did is drove around my block with the stock in the left and the new one in the right. What I noticed right away is that the blue (right) side seemed to light up anything that was reflective and I mean everything even all the way
down the street. The stock side put a lil tiny bit more light on the road but did hardly anything for the reflective ness. One my way home from work I noticed the reflectors in the street light up as far as I could see, way down the road. So I love it. Plus every one looks at the headlights now because of that cold frost blue color.
I paid 160$ for the pair. There some Japan company and I have a 1 yr warr.

Thanks

That lighting up reflection thing your talking about is scatter. It will look like horrible glare for others but if you like them thats cool!

I have 7500k installed, it's really bright... as USDM said, it lights everything thats reflective, but when it's raining and the road is wet.. it feels like it's not bright at all...

USDM, do you also notice this with your 8000k?

You'll notice how dim they are when it rains...even my 6000K are noticeably dimmer. And yes the higher color temp you go, the more glare it will produce. Glare and lumens are very different things.

Nice color, but still, the stock ones light up better. Im thinking about the Philips 6000 but Im still happy with my stock HID and Catz Aqua High Beams.

Not to much, thats why I installed a set of Hyper Yellow H-4's
This makes driving in the rain even better than stock. With the
foglight lazer yellow and the blue HID. I see really well. Makes a
great combo.
