Default HID's installed

Finally got them in last week and got around to taking some pictures.





HID Low Beams:




Factory 'high beams'...feels like I'm driving in the dark.



In-action shot.

It's almost pointless to. I flipped them on while I was driving home from being out of town late at night and it honestly felt like I had just turned my lights off altogether. There's really no comparison.

Thanks for the pics, 1BADSS. That's an incredible difference! I recently saw a motorcycle with HID's. Even though it was broad daylight it still hurt to look directly at him coming head-on. I need to upgrade the electrical system on my old bike so I can do the same. NO ONE would miss seeing me (at least from the front) with those installed. As a motorcycle commuter, I'm always looking for ways to be more conspicuous. And I'm guessing The Wife would like some in her Monte as well.

No kidding. I'd flash you with my brights in a heart beat.

I get flashed at a few times a week. But I honestly think I get flashed more now than I used to because of my HID fogs.. I have 12000K HID lows and 3000K HID fogs. My fogs are almost as bright as most peoples non HID lights if not brighter
