installed my HPA 6K HID bulbs just now
 

install is a PITA, not alot of room to work with in the wheel well but i managed. I also installed LED's in place of the parking lights but didnt swap my fogs because i had too much trouble trying to get the old bulbs out so i said f*uck it i never use them anyway. The new bulbs are much bluer and reduce visibility a bit. Overall im happy with them and maybe one day if im feeling up to it ill try and get the fogs in.

So you lost some visibility but gained blue in color?

yeah pretty much, the visibility loss is minimal but its definetely alot bluer when you look at the bulbs and the light it produces on the road.

here is a crapy cellphone pic showing the OEM and HPA
 

ill get better ones later

Looks a little too blue for 6k lol

Looks good, just too blue for me none the less. I think you helped me make up my decision to get 5000k instead of 6000k.

really ? the box from HPA said 6000k

Im sure they are 6000k. They look just like Max's and he got his from HP too. Color varys slightly from brand to brand and its hard to capture the true color with a camera, especially a cell phone.

True, I heard from many people that HPA 6K are a stronger blue that other 6K brands.

heres a pic of the headlight enclosure
 

sorry about the quality

its really not that blue in person. the camera just makes it out to be more than it is. heres a pic of my hpa 6000k's. also my fogs are bright yellow so it just shows again some cameras arent the best for capturing light color.

yeah its not bad after a minute or two of warming up, i gave up on the fog install, couldnt get the stupid screw out of one side and the OEM bulb wouldnt come out, grrrrrr

Hey wOady, just noticed your sig says 12/22/09. Is it supposed to be 12/22/08?

i removed my lights completely for igor to paint them. way easier than trying to squeeze in the wheel well for me.
good catch, thanks!
