i know the thought of 500 beans on lights is bull, but trust me after you buy projectors and buy hids and you spend like 300 just save the extra 200 and buy retros. do it oce and do it right. you will be more satisfied with retros then and projector. (gen 1,2,3,4)

Which is why I will have Morimoto Mini's in my gen 3's. Not sure if you saw that part.

I sent a message to Mkulrey but I needed some input. I don't mind a very subtle amount of blue but I am looking at the Gen 4's with 5000k. What I gather from the sea of posts about HIDs and stuff is that 8000k + 55w = 6000k? What the hell does 6000k look like? And do I need a specific bulb for the projectors to match the fogs?

I'm trying for a very pure white / subtle blue in both but I'm not sure what I need to order! Help please =)

you guys need to take wall shots from farther away to judge glare. Try about 20 feet.

I wasn't specifically referring to you, more or less just in general. But ya, we got dumped on here too. I'm ready for winter to end.

They're gonna be purely for looks, they won't be bright at all. Those bulbs say 400 lumenens each, a 5000k hid bulb is gonna be around 2500
