What K are your HID's
i dont see many but i do see a few other Z's out there with after market HID kits... i was wondering what other K's are running around.
personally i have a 05 light assembly with 8,000k for my normal running lights and 20,000k for my high beams (yes i converted my highs to HID hope you got your shades on
)

the pics i posted are a mix of my 20k highs WITH the 8k lows... im trying to figure a way to set a switch up to where i can have my highs on ONLY without needing the lows on at the same time, maybe a taco switch that cuts the line that runs before the head light fuse.

This link might help with some common misconceptions regarding hid headlights and the output of different kelvin temps.

6000k
looks great and works fine for city streets.
but on mountain roads, i couldn't see out safely.
high beams were on as much as possible.
thinking about upgrading to the bixenons if there's a noticeable difference in output 4300k versus 4300k

For those that dont have the 06+ headlights, its a great investment. The projector produces very good light and high beams are ridiculous. I like to turn them on when my friends get infront of me so I can hear them whine later about how they couldnt see anything.
