I would like to say to any one interested in these lights but is concerned with the negative reaction of on comeing traffic {afraid of blinding traffic}.I will say this when I first put them in a got flashed by other cars frequently then I adjusted the headlights down a little bit and I am happy to say no oncoming traffic has flashed me at all in the last to weeks or since I re-aimed them.Tell me what all you guys think about the lights and my car good or bad.
Just scrol down the page were the pics are and you will see the new pics.PS I found a white wall.

Looks like you have 4 headlights on one of the

Pics...LOL... At first i thought it was one of those sequential green LED thingies... Looks like your passenger side light is higher than the drivers side. The pattern doesn't seem too bad... it's hard to tell with your car so close to the wall.

So, in the kit you bought... you had to 'glue' the bulbs in?

The kit i was looking at was a direct plug in (modified bulb)... maybe that's why it cost more...

Thanks for taking the time to post pics for us!

So how do you like the DC280?

Well it looks really tight

I thik the reason why your passenger light looks brighter than your driver side light is becuase( I saw) the passenger one was a tad bit higher than the ds one. Look closely at your pics and the ps one looks alittle higher, just a bit.

Why does it look so green? HID is BLUE, not green.

hey Russ,

It doesn't really look Green at all it just is how it came out in the picture?Doent ask why it looked green when I took the picture,must have been the camera.

Chunger I like the DC280 a lot.I had to glue the one in the kit,I dont think that has to do with price though,they just were designed to plug in 9006.

I'm gonna have to get myself a digicam too>>

I have to go to Toronto early December.. perfect excuse!

Yeah, shooting pics at night distorts colors. The CCD on digicams might also be partially responsible as well. Small price to pay...

How do you think I am going to get costumers,

without all the chrome stuff I meen you have to let people no your a dealer/JoKe\.But anyways I tried taking it off and I did not relys that you need a heat gun to do it properly,so It took me like 10 hours to remove one side with broot strength,only problem was I put all these little dents in the side of the car so I had to put another thing of chrome panels on there to cover up the dents.I like it with the chrome stuff anywase,it's actualy stainless steal.

you have got to be Sh**t'n me!! 525 for a Maxima HID kit?! How'd you manage to pull that off?! I've been all up in something called Phillips lighting forum, and kits for our cars have been estimated from 800 to 2,000!! That is highway robbery if I ever saw it. Good buy.

The guy I purchased my sylvania lights can get Phillips for you to just email him.The address is in the for sale section somewhere probably 4-7 pages back.

you can't tell beam pattern with the pictures he took. He didn't take any from the driver seat.. or just even "looking out".

Just an observation.

You can tell that there is a lot of glare. If the beam pattern was correct there would hardly be any light shining into the camera from the standing up angle he took the pictures from.

Shing, please check your e-mail.
