yea my mistake...i knew they wont match the factory ones...does it look bad with the factory HID's? i plan on upgrading the low beam HID's but not until i have to..i had the PIAA GT-X fog lights in and they burned out in like 3 months so i just want to upgrade to the HID's now.

standard h3s had cheap ebay 8000k kit, ballast went bad, so i got a 6000k ultinza(spl) kit.
after having the 8000k for few months i removed the shield. i just switched to the 6000ks about amonth ago. huge difference in light output between the two.
also if uve never installed anything hid, or fogs, i found it easier to removee the head lights and do most of the work from above the car. theres a screw to undo fromt he bottom of the 00/01s thats harder to get to, i not sure about the 02/03s, either way its easier to mount the ballasts and aim the fogs from above. i found this the easist way of the many times ive removed my fogs to do it.

Does the tape really do a good job of keeping the bulb from rattling inside the housing? Any condensation coming in? How's the lenses holding up from the heat?

i have 8000K for my lowbeams.. i dono wat color i should get for my fogs. i was thinkin bout changing the lows back to stock cuz they are brighter.. but dayam.. the 8000k's look good. gettin 4300K or 6000K in the fogs shouldnt be so bad right? does anyone know if they make 5000K bulbs?
