But I think you are rite, if it rains, it might not as good as 4300K.
That is why I think I will get a Impul bodykit and there will be 2 fog lights with the kit. and if it rains, I will not need to worry.
the thing is Impul USA said I will have to wait for a month.
I'll put some wall picture maybe tonight.

If you like the looks of it better than stock then its all good but your statement about it being better than a 4300K hid bulb is absolutely wrong.

I bought that in Taiwan. I couldn't find 8000K in USA, so I ask a friend to bring that from Taiwan 2 weeks ago.

4300k oem bulbs + h4 halogen bulbs IS NOT as bright as 8000k low bea bulbs and 8000k fog light conversion. I have compared it several times with a friend who has a coupe with the oem lighting. His hid+fogs are not as bright as mine. My fogs have a wider range both left to right and up. I will take some pics of mine tonight on my way home from class I know the perfect wall to take pictures on.
and I dont have any trouble in the rain or snow at all the only time i dont prefer my 8000k is in the fog.

He also checked my sticker, he was up their long enough to notice them. If you get pulled over just say their oem, they cant prove you wrong unless they educated about hid systems, and most likely they are not.
What bulb is your clearance and sidemarker lights?
Looks real good by the way.
