New Retrofit Sale! - BuyHIDs.com
man i got mine in and they look great and the high beams work and everything, but i'm extremely extremely disapointed in the brightness. i have 10000k fog lights and i ordered these with 6000k and my fog lights are brighter on the road than these are. the first set of retrofits were way brighter. so either something isn't right or these things are just crap. in terms of looks 11/10 though!
8000k aren't as bright as whiter bulbs,but are still pretty bright. Did you try adjusting them up at all? They might just be adjusted too far down.

and they lock in the stock housing pretty well, ill have to try again i guess.
No, any hid bulb from 4300k to 5000k will always be brighter than the higher k bulbs, no matter what the application. Don't adjust how the projector is installed, just use the stock headlight adjusters and adjust the headlights like you would with the stock bulbs. That's all you need to do. To get the correct aim, park on level ground 20-25 feet from a wall, measure the height from the ground to the projector on your car, then measure the height of the upper cutoff line. The cutoff line should be 2 in lower than the projectors are.

PM me the code on the base of the bulb should be like H1 10x Ill make sure you got the correct bulbs you ordered. Also, if you did not dremal the back of the headlight, the bulb is probably sitting to far back in the projector.
Just installed my retros and it was easy. Took about an hr and a half start to finish and did the LED reverse light bulbs too. Here are some daytime pics on a black car. I mnow the car is very dirty. Ill get some night shots later tonight. Thanks mkulrey

Im running 5ks and my 6k ebay kit without a projector was brighter than this. Something doesnt seem right. I can barely tell a difference with my fog lights on switching from parking lights to headlights
