2k2 HID upgrade

Wuts up all, I am new to this board and just got my car, and I already now that amoung the first things I want to do is upgrade my headlights and fog lights. Has anyone done the 6000K swap yet and know of any good sites with good prices. I know this site "hid4less"| has just the low beam philips 6000K upgrades listed for $395 or something. Thats a bit much for just the bulbs right?

well my friend has an M3 and I hate the way the whitish look mine has next to his, I was thinking mine would look like his when I got the car, as for the front and rear bumper lights,..I am going to get to that but its not as expensive to replace those as are the headlights plus,they are listed on ebay all the time!

what is his hid color? bluish or purplish? i was just saying that because most want to change what they think is ugly on their car 1st, and people really don't like the front and rear bumper lights. but do you let me know how the new hid's work out..

If you are interested in upgrading you HIDS or converting your fogs to HIDS send me an email. I work for KOPS HIDS any many .org members have purchased products from me and been very satisfied. I have pics of my 6000k Heads and ffogs on my homepage. Headlight upgrade is $150 shipped and foglight conversion kit is $425 shipped.

You can change the color of your light output but it will never look the same as a BMW - primarily because they have a projector lens to go with theirs and we don't.

Yup, we can't match that look, although I have no gripes with our OEM

This is off a BMW.

Here one of the 6500K purple fogs, like I said the camera is only capturing like 10% of the true color, all the greenish area on the ground is really purple in person stupid digicam.


The headlight bulbs are still OEM 4300K. Like I said the pic does it no justice as to how purple these really are.
