I want something new. It's not because of the kit itself because it was/is very durable. Also I wanted to tone it down a bit now that I live out in the burbs. Police here have nothing to do but pull people over.

Down the road I want to do something with the projectors if they look as good as the EVO's.

The new kits are now 2 piece vice 3 like the ones me and you have. These are 3 piece so people dont want all that stuff under their hoods.

I got a hanabi kit and im very happy. The only way I would sell them is if I got a fat ticket cause they are 8000k.

i think 6000K looks the best - the slightly purpleish look

I bought some recently and today got the chance to try them out in the dark. They are f$#$$#g bright! They shine about three times the distance of my orignal bulbs. I got flashed by several cars ... my lights may need reaiming a little but I think no matter where you aim them they'll be bright. I love them! Wish I'd had them a long time ago. I got the Hella ballast kit.

Can't imagine not having them!

Where can I check these out? Do they have a horizontal low beam cutoff built in?

Another one in Colorado with HIDs. People might start thinking they are standard equipment. But I too have been thinking about upgrading to a 7000k kit.

I really want to see people with the Mcculloch HID, especailly the 5k, because it's more close to stock hids, and more whiter. I like competition, I love my 6k Hanabi, but too purplish for my taste around RI and some of the booney area in RI, Deezo and Ethan would know. I can't wait for Greg at Custommaxima to get the projector lights over, so I can see what type bulbs they use and get the Mcculloch, or maybe the new Hanabi 6500k that Freddie say is only white with no hint of anyother color.

hehe! I took off the front bumper section to hide the ballasts on the bumper mount. The wires can sit down there too! It looks pretty clean! I got mine for only $350 ... They are soooo nice!
