Some pics of my 8000ks installed

It was a b1tch to install them. I tired really hard to install them from under the hood and it just wasnt happening. I finally have up and removed the wheels to do it. The install took about an hour, I think it came out great.

Here is just the left installed.. it makes the stock HID look like a halogen light off an 89 ford pickup.


Here a pic of the stock light from above the light..


And now the 8000k..


I dont have any night shots yet Ill take some when I get out of work tonight, but I drove up to the beach with a few friends and I love the color on the road. Visibility was fine I was on some extremely dark roads (my friend knew some back roads from Hampton beach to Newburyport) and the lights did a great job at lighting up the road. Ill update this tonight with some night shots farther away.

McCulloch... I think thats closer to how its spelled

If I'm not mistaken, I think Philips only makes 6000k.

Here are the night shots.







Driving with them for 2 nights I love the color. Whoever says you lose light with 8000k has bad eyes becuase I prefer this color light lighting up the road in front of me. Its no projectors but for 100 bucks its a good mod.

No one "said" that you lose light output with a higher temp... its a fact.

Not what I meant... I meant with the naked eye I personally cannot tell I "lost" any light.
