Any idea which HID kit or what rating this HID kit is?
I love this 4th Gen and I've always had this page bookmarked. This picture shows the color of his HIDs well and they look kind of green and blue I think and I have no idea which kit or kelvin rating produces this kind of light? Anybody?

it doesnt matter what color they are, theyre not 6000K or under... pretty much ricer lights.
also, how do you know theyre HIDs? there are halogens that create the same effect youre seeing.

there is NO oem HID headlight that is over 6000K, in fact most, if not all OEM bulbs are 4100K.

Yes, for the most part. However, there is a sunlight blue-white 6600K that is
the highest-rated Kelvin Color Temperature for factory HIDs that have been used in some vehicles. Even if it's not the same kelvin rating, some BMW, Mercedes, Lexus etc. APPEAR to have the same high kelvin rating if they are not indeed that high on the kelvin chart which is all that really matters when the main concern is attention from police concerning color.

The bottom line is, those lights in that pic are definitely 8000k or above (can you say "ebay bulbs"?), and will be sure to get you a ticket or two from the local bored policeman.
oh, and they look mad
IMHO, but that's just my opinion.

umm yeah, what irish said. its in the optics, not the bulb.
link please. i can show you a link that says otherwise, but i asked first 
police? police worry about the color of the light that hits the ground and wether the lights glare into other drivers eyes at normal angles.
OEMs dont, eleventy billion Ks do.
its the color that hits the road.
