We have several threads in the vendor section for our 22mil colored and 25mil clear headlight protection kits

Blue is my personal fav, but in the end it is really a personal choice.

FijiZRacer, no photos of our HID Blue on a blue Z, sorry. HID Blue on blue is going to be a subtle look as the color is going to blend well with the color of the car.

personally, i wouldn't put it on a street car. primarily, to avoid the extra crap from the cops.

but what you said about the yellow light is very true. yellow lense glasses and goggles have been proven to improve visibility and contrast. just go to any ski resort.

Our GT Yellow light kits the light output will be yellow.
Our HID Blue will enhance the HID effect.

LOL

Well taking a digital photo at night and having it look like what the human eye sees is impossible with current technology. The photo does give you an idea of what the output will look like shining against a beige wall from a few feet away. (The vehicle pictured does not have HID's BTW.)

Ahh, I misunderstood you when you said "Our HID Blue will enhance the HID effect" I took that as it will make the stock HID look better, clearer, nicer. Makes more sense now that you say that car doesnt have HID's...if thats the case then yes that semi dull HID blue is better than the stock base yellowish/crappy lights

No problem, I thought I had included that, but I didn't. Still trying to get over a cold... It was 85 here last week, then a day and a half later it was 18, then another couple of days back into the 70's... Add a ton of long days at work and there you go!

I agree with the fact that it only looks right if your car is all stickered up and racecar looking like Chris Forseberg's Drift Alliance 350Z.

It is all about personalization. We do sell a lot of clear versions to the people looking to protect their lights without the color change

LOL, yes pretty funny I guess. Although some of what we offer may be considered by some to be simple 'overlays', we don't classify them as such. We manufacture our lighting protection kits from a much thicker (22/25mil) impact resistant material (easier to install too). Its first job is always to protect, and second to give a different look with our wildly popular tinted line.

ITS FRIDAY PEOPLE!!!!! Have a great weekend!

Don't do it man. It looks as if someone urinated on your headlights.
