I'm in the Boston area soon to be moving to New Bedford. On the ride home, I went down some dark street in my area and I think I'm going to have to focus those baby's to the ground. They are madd bright.

I, too ordered the Hanabi's from Freddie. I should get these sometime this week or early next week. What do you mean by "connectors on the stock harness that made it a piece of cake?"

I'm assuming all the necessary parts are included with the Hanabi 6000k kit?

Don't put the kit together until you consult with Freddie or myself. All of the neccessary parts are there but you can get creative with the harness that connects to the original stock harness to give the HID's power.

These lights are worth the look and performance Aaron.

See Freddie(97GLES) if you want a set.
That sounds great. do they have the same color as the bmw or the audi, or what about acura. Im sure the brightness is the same but my doubt is the appearance or color. considering they look green in the picture

hanabi........

i have both the osram and the hanabi.
the osram is pure white with a little tint of yellow at a distance.
the hanabi is actually greenish during warm up and after warm up, they are white with blue tint. no yellow.
we did a comparison with my car(hanabi9004), yoit'sok's car(phillips), pcguru's car(hanabih4), cisco's car(panasonnic) all at the same time.
from a distance, the hanabi is the brightest. the color comes from the kelvin of 6000k /so i really don't know if the pattern is all over the place but i know that in front of the car is like daytime. as far as the h4's, you can't really tell the difference. it was hard cause 4 cars all with hid's at the same time!i haven't seen yoit'sok's new 6000k's yet but they should be the same cause the 6000k will give you the brightness and color.

i might be wrong.

i have piaa ion crystal yellow so from far, ppl mistake me for a lexus commin down the street.

Cool, thanks. I'll contact you guys when I get the kit for installation assistance. I'm not good with technical installation things, so I'll need some help.

Who says they're the same exact as the HID's on lexus/acura/benz's...they're much better. And the HID's that come standard on those cars don't blind people to death and cause chaos on the highway, these do all that and more.

Maybe so but those foglights are definitley not. Anyway I am almost certain that those are aftermarket, I could be wrong though.

Are you one of those people that wears sunglasses at night? It's all about the image, isn't it?

My bodyshop got it from Sarona direct. They advertise for ~$1150. I paid wholesale price for it b/c my shop deals with them on a regular basis, plus I had a lot of other things done on the car. Design looks great, but the Sarona bodykit quality sux, don't even think about it 'cause it truly isn't worth the price or the trouble.

the kit doesnt come with these connectors that freddy gave me they are some type of connector that clamps on the stock wire harness all need is two on each side the positive and negative wires the third is the high beam but we all know we lose the high beam.ask freedy about the connectors.
