vvme.com doesnt work..did you type it right?

and with 10000K, the view ahead of you isnt going to appear as bright as you would like/need...i would suggest, if its not too late, change them to 4300-6000Kmax....

10000k ???? damn dud your lights ar gunna be almost purple.
just so you know the higher the number the lower light output, or lumens
i wouldnt go any higher than 6k or any lower than 4.3k(oem)

If they are going to be a true 10000k color you might be disappointed in the light output. If they're over color rated then you might be looking closer to 8000k which would be ok. But as others have stated a 4000k-6000k is the desirable range with the lower being brighter.

yea, i just tried the site and its saying theres an error and wont load, but ive been tracking my order and its already in the USA so any day now....the color is what i was wanting, i like how it looks, it will give me a wider light coverage than stock

i want to convert to HID, but i was wondering what size everyone used, like H1? etc. and how easy was the install.

dhrubio · 07-22-2007, 11:19 PM

install is very easy, and check here for your bulb size

mr3000 · 07-23-2007, 01:58 PM

well i got my hid kits in today, one question i have is, where is the best place to mount the power ballasts?( remember i have 4)

dhrubio · 07-23-2007, 02:37 PM

hmm..depending on the size of each ballast, you might be able to fit 1 pair behind the turn signals...and the other pair, maybe on the wall by intake filter, and by horn? just look around for the best spots

mr3000 · 07-23-2007, 03:10 PM

yea, i was thinking about mounting one behind each headlight, but the sheet metal is kindof thick, but ill look more in depth

You should just be able to mount them underneath the headlights.

IMHO, you might be sorry you chose 10000k bulbs. They might look good, but the light output will probably be pretty shitty.
