Lemme tell ya I had OE TL Type S headlight ballasts, bulbs in my AE headlights, and the light output was incredible. The lights shinned like 1/4+ mile ahead, and everything was illuminated, but there wasn't no true focus point on the light, just spread all over, but most of it got down to the road. It made my friends EVO headlights look like little flash lights, unfortunally I took them out cause it was too bright, and I don't like getting pulled overy by cops n getting locked up every time- sorry I have a nasty problem with cops.

From the Side it actually looks like a light purple/white mix. The output is amazing, its night and day when comparing to regular bulbs.

I am very pleased to say that light pattern is not bad at all, in the beginning i had my lights aimed straight to the floor, but then i raised them a little higher using the test of being 20 feet away and aiming headlights. Then i parked my car and asked a friend to drive by my car to see if there is a great amount of glare. Suprisingly enough there wasent. I have been driving with my hid's for around six months or so and i have not gotten high beamed once. It puts out great light towards the ground and also good lighting infront of me as well.

McCulloch 5300K. Pure white light. I had to aim the lights down just a bit to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. Great output.

I am talking about just a regular bi-xenon kit, projector would eb too much work.

I want to get an HID kit but I want high beams.

I had a 6k Catz kit in my 2000 and the beam pattern was much better than my setup currently is in a 4th gen headlight..
