Upgraded my HIDs to 8000K and House Lights to 1600K :P

Got tired of the yellowing lighting my garage door opener and outside lights were emitting so i upgraded them with some cool white 1600K 100W bulbs!

And i got some 8000K HIDs for the G too from http://www.ijdmtoy.com. I had these HIDs for almost a year and they burned out but they were quick to send me a replacement. Great customer service and cheap HIDs (55 shipped) so not bad at all. Without future ado here are the pics from my iPhone since my professional photographer is far away :P



Left Side Stock and Right Side Upgraded



Fully Upgraded









8000K FTW! mmm Blue....

Eventually all the interior bulbs in the house will be upgraded...stay tune for that

hmm.. your iphone's white balance canceled out the yellow in the oem ones on the left so there isn't as much noticeable difference...

nice though.. blue HIDs are fitting for you.. visibility comes second to the theme! =P
