Right Now I have = Plasmaglow HID blue XENON - KRYPTON
I bought them from http://www.xtremelightsinc.com/headlights.html
The thing with these bulbs for your headlights is that they don't light the road in a cool blue color. They're really bright and show up in a clear white.
I would recomend these if your just looking for that clear white light look. Ill see if I can get pics later on tonight.
I dont mean to hijack the thread but, what other headlights that other members might have that give you the blue look? PM me.

What ever you do, stay away from Luminics... you'll be disappointed 3 months down the road.
As for lights, I say go with a trusted brand. I had Philips Crystalvision bulbs in both my Chevs. They are extremely bright, very white, and long lasting. The set in my Cavalier have been in the car for nearly 2 years now. You can't go wrong with Philips. You should try the X-treme Powers!!!

There is a how-to about how to remove the "squirrel spotters" in your headlights. those projectors are designed for halogens so they have a little reflective piece to shine light upwards. after removing the "squirrel spotters" there is a damn sexy cutoff line and no glare! just something for you to check out

The halos on the 1st gen projectors are a separate wiring soo you could choose to wire them to whatever you like (even not at all). He has 2nd gen projectors which I believe have a harness that puts the halos and LEDs in with the lights meaning that yes they are always on when your driving lights are on. The halos do not hurt to be on while you are driving at night. With the 1st gen projectors the halos are LED powered, and not very bright, soo they are hard to see at night with the lights on. The 2nd and 3rd gen projectors fixed that problem by using CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamps) technology to light the halos, soo they are much brighter. I have the 1st gen lights and just wired the halos to be on with the lights. That is how most people have them done, but some people will wire them to a toggle switch to turn off and on at will. Hope that helps..!

The "Squirell Spotters" being the Part that extends all the way to the plastic cover, I have 3rd generation projectors with 6000k HIDS and 'm looking to get the lights to look like the ones in the picture above, they cut off really low right now.
Has anyone attempted to put the lowbeams in the high beam location, would this cause problems or you think it would be OK, There H1 bulbs in the 3rd generation incase it makes a diff.
Sorry to jack the thread
BTW- The H11 bulbs for the fogs are not easy to get and if you change to HID's for your headlights, it looks stupid (IMO) because the lights are two diff colors, What I did was replace the whole fog light with PIAA 004XT XTREME WHITE which run at 4300k without having to do a HID conversion, there bright as hell, brighter than my headlights, the only problem is they were beyond a pain in the ass to install, get it done by a pro if you go this route, oh yeah the piaa's are an exact fit to replace the stock fogs, the problem was finding somewhere to bolt them into, other than that I used the stock wires to run them so they run off the stock switch
