I finished it up earlier today. The install didnt turn out too bad and still totally amazed at the night difference. They come with some 4.3K bulbs but I was able to track down some 8K's in the D1R style. I'm still trying to track down some replacement seals for around the headlight bezels though (they dont seem to have their own part number).

Why 8k's ? On HID lights the higher the temp Kelvin the lower Lumens output. 8k will give you a blue color light and you will look like all of the other ricers with their cheap H4 HID bulb replacement kits and less light output (silverstars would have more output).

I wanted the bluer color the 8K's have... still a lot brighter than the stock lights.

I have used 6000's before and they were still very blue. I like the 8000k ones as well. They toss out a ton of light.

Is there a horizontal cut-off (light pattern) on those? I assume so since they are projectors. I put some cheapo projectors in a VW last year and the light pattern was V shaped, basically not lighting up the road ahead but the sides of the road. Another time I put some in a stock reflector housing and it threw the light into the sky, not to mention blinding everyone.

Looks good!

Yes, luckily, there is a horizontal cut-off or people would definately be blinded!

Is the height adjustable?

I would love to see some pics onside the grill and even night beam pattern!

I am going to do this in the next week or so. Where did you buy this setup?

Yes the height is adjustable! I'll snap some inside pics tomorrow and see if I can get some decient night shots with my camera (it normally doesnt do well at night though).

You can order the kit directly from them.... Xesighting.com.

ROFL at that pic with the bulging eyes out. It does make the H2 look kinda funny.

Got nighttime pics?

My camera doesnt seem to want to take a good night pic. I'll probably end up getting a Cannon Digital Rebel soon to resolve that though.
