Looks good. Now that the snow is falling, you have to let us know if you have any visibility issues in the snow. I heard a rumor that the higher temp hids don't do as well in snow.

umm i believe they were 250 for the headlights and 150 for the fogs. i purchased them for a seller on ebay... i was told hes the best but he screwed up my order so i wont even mention his user name. I ordered 10k color and he sent 8k. Instead of sending them back and doing all that crap i just kept the 8k. but yeah.. i think think they look great and dont have to worry about the police pulling me over for TOO blue of lights. so far i havent had any problems with the higher temp bulds in the snow. i love the color its really cool, a very custom look. totally different than stock. LOTS more people look your way during the night. :P so far im loving them!

You won't be having any problems anytime soon since HIDs run cooler then halogen bulbs.

Looks great!

The temp is the color, not the heat output. The color temp comes from heating a piece of carbon to 8000 Kelvin and it turns a light blue color. 2500 Kelvin is cooler therefor you get a yellowish color. Ect, ect.

I think he meant temp as in color, with the 8k and 10k bulbs being more blue than the 6k bulbs alot of people get.

I was saying that in reference to that squirt was telling Jeepin about HIDs when in fact, Jeepin knows plenty about HIDs, he has them. I could see how he got confused there a bit becuase noved sayed "temp" and not "kelvins"
