Ya cuahtemoc pretty much got it go to ddmtuning.com

However i think you should get 6000K they have a good hint of blue in there. 1000k looks more yellow and 10000k is purple. so 5000k is white and ya you can figure it out from there lol

You say that like blinding others is a good thing.

IMO 55W is way too bright. Even 35W units produce around 2800-3500 lumens, compared to a halogen's 1300-1500.

Adjust your lights down. Way down.

DDMtuning is the way to go. If you decide to go HID I say go 55w, as long as your headlights are aimed properly they shouldn't bother other driver too much, and the light output is amazing. I end up on country roads quite often, and I don't know how I drove without them. I plan on putting 55's in my fogs soon.

umm I dont know about you but I personally DO NOT like someone shining their headlights in my eyes when its real dark out... it has this BLINDING effect which makes it rather difficult to see and something I find rather irritable and dangerous especially on narrow roads.

So I think Jason has a good point when he says CONSIDER OTHER DRIVERS.

I'm with you on this on, i was made a post about angel eyes and HID's asking what should i do. First you need to make sure you have euro lens. You will know you have it if you have a glass headlight lens. I'm still confused where i should go for my angels eyes. I know im going to be ordering my HID kit from DDE

How do you aim them properly?

European? :tsk: You really don't comprehend anything outside your own boundaries, do you?

How do you aim them properly?
Screws on either side of the headlight will adjust it.
But you have to get projectors or one day someone, much grumpier than I, will take to your lights with a jemmy bar. That's if they don't run head on into you because they're blinded.
[Edit:] You really can't do HID on the total cheap. Real lenses are worth the money.
