no daytime pics yet, i'm gonna go tomorrow to take pics. . ..

breaking the seal means getting an exacto and cutting the seal. . .once u cut the seal, just slowly and carefully take it apart. . .and your good to go put the orange cover off and put it back together and seal it. . .

i haven't had any probs yet. . it's rained in houston a few times already and no condensation or anything like that.....

Go here: http://www.autolamps-online.com/

click on "Order" and look for the single HID capsule that fits yo application...should be 9006. They offer free shipping world-wide and tax-free. There's a way to get yo HID's blue-tinted...but trust me, you don't want that. There's a company in Japan that makes those blue-tinted tubes called "Aqua Blue" which you can insert yo HID capsules into those and make the light output very bluish, and that's gonna compromise the brightness of the HID's, it will be dimmer and end up like regular halogens but only look brighter. And, those cost $89.00 USD per pair......

Once you're on the main page, click on "Order Form", scroll all the way down to the bottom and look for "6000K Xenon Discharge with stripe 12 volt 35 watt", $175.00 each, the reason for the higher price is cuz that's the new HID capsules with 6000k intensity, the higher the intensity, the bluer the light. And as a result, it produces more heat at the same time which "may" shorten the life of those capsules. When you order, make sure you order the D2R capsules, cuz D2R is designed for reflector-type headlamps only, with D2S you're gonna have a messed-up beam pattern and excessive glare.

Have Fun!
