I saw that ThunderSky, will2k, SX4 installed HID but didn't post a wallshot or a roadshot. Can you please post a picture at night about 50 ft away from a wall and a picture of the road at night?

It would also be helpful if you told us which HID kit and Kelvin bulb you have. I'm not sure if I should just buy an HID kit or get a retrofit. Thanks.

Retrofit? What would you retrofit, the projector lens?

HID projectors since ours were made for halogen bulbs. I just wanted to see if our projectors worked well with HID bulbs.

Ah, ok. Well, when I get mine, HIDs are going to be one of the first mods regardless if it looks like crap or not. I drive in a lot of areas with no lights so I'll need them. I'll be most likely getting 6000K 55w HIDs.

i just did my hids yesterday and they are looking fucking sweet. I suggest going to hidgeeks.com .. our lamp is H7 and there is no need to take out the bumper and all that shit just a waste of time. its plug and play system. make sure to pay extra 20 for slim ballast cause you just have to shove them into ur headlight. I am currently running on 10,000k with 35watt. it seriously looks sick. im pretty much thinking changing rims to get 20's and the roof tinted black out just like the new mercedes

A food deal? Lol I want HIDs not food!

I shop at DDM tuning for HIDs they are crazy cheap and they have a lifetime warranty!

Looks pretty decent but that's WAY too blue for me. 6000k is what I'll get.
