Default Vision Bulbs 8000k Review with Pictures

I finished installing my 8000k HID conversion kit from Vision Bulbs. I didn't really hear anything about their products but decided to give it a try because of the price.

Here are some before and after pictures.

Before:



After:



Before and after at the same time:



A couple of after photos:





Overall I am happy with the product and price.

Looks good, but i can guarantee you that you can't see jack on the street. 8000k is extremely blue, which, will decrease the lighting effect on the street.

I haven't noticed a difference yet with these. The tint isn't as blue as I expected. The last pic shows how good the output is though.

The install was somewhat difficult if its your first time, if you want I can guide you through it. Shouldn't take more than 2 hours (if you don't know what your doing) with some breaks.

Just google Visionbulbs.

All you have to do really is just remove your wheels and the rest is plug and play. If you get the kit I can post up a DIY later this week.

If you know what your doing, 1 hour tops.

IMO, it's easier to remove the front bumper and go from there.

Removing your wheels are so easy. I would rather remove all my wheels and put them all back on than replace my shiftknob... now that was a challenge.

No connection with replacing headlight bulbs. Removing bumper has nothing to do with it unless someone wants to remove the headlights from the car just to put the bulb in there. Not sure why people keep saying that here.

true, all you have to do is remove the wheel-well liner.
