I had terrible trouble with the company I dealt with but finally finished the $180 project. Do Not Use hidxenonheadlights.com! I know they're illegal. It's not my DD so I'm not too worried about it. The pictures skew how they actually look a little. They're a highlighter green/yellow color when your looking at them from outside. The turn signals are white (they look orange in the pictures).

They don't shine as far as regular brights they just flood the sky with light. However I only have low beams, so if you hit the high beams you get normal color highs and the yellow fogs & heads both shut off. They're extremely annoying when youre driving in front of them lol.

So I have to ask why??
They are illegal to run
you say they do not shine as far as regular bulbs
they blind you
Confused as to why you would waste good money on them

Uhh hello, they look sweet! No the lows shine as far as normal lows. But I thought they would shine further. However, they do shine really wide.

dont use HID's without proper headlights/projectors. if i were coming at you at night i'd give you my lows/highs/fogs/ and all 4 roof lights so that way your eyes feel the same burn you give to others.

take them out and return them. if you dont you deserve to be arrested.

I've driven past them myself and they're not as bad as most HID kits. I've probably passed 250 cars now with them on and haven't ever been flashed. They're aimed pretty low also. So I really dont think it's that big of a burden. I'd rather have yellow coming strait at me than someone with their brights on or stupid flickering stock HIDs.

yellow is much easier on the eyes... and aimed properly wouldnt be too bad. I have silvania silverstars and get high beamed ALL the time.. so i just figured yours would be even brighter. then again i live in the country and theres no street lights.. so when it's dark its DARK

I have silverstars in my Ranger and don't think they're that great...although the lenses are from 94. But yeah I have been driving in mostly well lit areas.

I get flashed every time i go out at night because of the lift and lack of re-aiming the lights. Plus of all the Japanese vehicle lowered accords and civics around here. I have stocked lights, so now whenever i get flashed, i usually flash the roof lights just to be an booty.
