Default HIDs installed *pics*

First off let me say the pics are not very good, and that the lights look MUCH better in person. But this kind of gives you an Idea....

They are in a 01 Denali with stock projectors

4300K bulbs

They are bright white in person.

I still need to aim them better, but I haven't had a chance yet. It really isn't that bad to be honest.

I haven't had anybody flash me yet or anything, so I don't think I am blinding others.

They are kick *** mod to do, well worth the money. You can see a million times better at night.

They are a bright white, no blue at all. It looks kind of blue in the pics because of the digital camera used. It is really hard to take an accurate pic of HID lights because of how bright they are.

Stay away from "blue" HID kits. They are typically advertised as 6000K. I would keep it in the 4000K-4500K range. 6000K lights are put out less visible light than a 4100K or 4300K bulb. The blue appearance comes from the cut off line of a good quality projector, but the light is still white.

The one from XenonDepot.com

The bulbs seem to be very good quality. But the more importantly the kit uses Phillips ballasts. I'd steer clear of ballasts other than Phillips or Hella.

I paid around $450 or so, I forget exactly how much. Expect to pay $400-500+ for a good quality kit. If you need projectors too, you would also need to factor them in too. You could easily spend $1000+ on a good HID conversion.
