I got the X Tec 8000k. The stock HID's are junk. They shouldnt be called HID's. I got my bulbs from Eastern Autosports here in NY they have all the bulbs. i changed the HID's, high beams, driving lights and turn lights.

They also got any parts you are looking for.

what did you replace the high beam bulbs with? I've personally been thinking about going the 10000k purple HID's. I've been kinda stomp on what bulb you can use for the high beam. What's the brightest thing on the market?

how much did you pay for them and is that the brightest you can go on the high beams bulbs? Is your HID's brighter than your high beams now and is it funny looking?

They were a gift, so i dont know how much they were. The HID's are a little brighter then the high beams. They dont look funny to me. But i never use high beams anyway really.

The higher the color temperature the less light output you will get
