Cause I accidentally left the back cover off the driver side headlight and I think I blew the ballast when it rained. Also because I like the way they look so why not?

I mean I wouldnt do it because I'm all performance. I try to stick to 4300K whenever possible. Lots of studies were done and it was determined that it was the best temp for lights. I take that back, I did one dress-up mod for my White 06 6MT, I put clear corners on it.

At the same time, different strokes for different folks. At least it makes the street more interesting instead of seeing the same looking cars everywhere. If OP lives in a city, it probably doesnt make too much of a difference what the output is if there's enough street light.

There are a lot of mods I wouldnt spend money on just because the performance just isnt worth it (CF hoods/trunks, etc), but if done right, they can look nice. The only lighting mod I've thought about doing was swapping my halogen fogs to HID, I asked about it on the forums but couldnt get any consensus on who made a good/reliable (preferably 4300K) HID kit for fogs. To be honest though, In all the cars I've had with fogs, there is barely a noticeable difference when they are turned on (even in fog!).

We're just trying to help. If you wanna go with these go ahead. Also keep in mind these are halogen projectors & not HIDs. If they are HIDs they take a crappy kit & aftermarket ballast is still needed.

If you still wanna go for them you can find them in Walmart isle 43. Under "Rice & Pasta"

I personally highly recommend Uncle Bens, definitely one of the best out there.
