They look good. The 3000k highs contrast well w/ the color of your car.

well the only reason i did yellow was because it was for the highs and they never get used really around where i live, it was really just so i could go to the dragon at night and be able to see forever haha

So going from the OEM 35w to 55w ballast was a big difference? I'm thinking of upgrading mines for the time being until I get 06+ projectors..where'd you get yours at?

Oh and you has leaves on your grill

got them from DDM Tuning, I just couldn't really see with my factory lights and these 55w lows make a big difference from stock for me thats one reason why im so pleased with them, they have to be hardwired but really you only have to cut two wires and they way i did mine i can take it back to stock very easily just be sure you keep all the parts

Why did you have to cut/hardwire? Did your car have base halogens or oem hids before? I figured the kit would be plug and play, I'm not sure if I'm willing to splice up my wires.

You also upgraded to the 06+ Projectors which is a big upgrade from 03-05 headlights as well.

i think halogen is plug and play but with the oem hids you have to modify it a little nothing bad, one small hole is needed for the wires to go through the headlight casing, the plastic circle cover on the back, i just sealed it up with some clear silicone gasket maker so it would hold and i could cut it away later, the covers are like 6 bucks for new ones if ever needed, and i only cut two wires for the highs and two for the lows, the rest of the wiring for the factory hids can be removed without cutting anything and reinstalled like it was from the factory some people may not want to screw with all this but its a lot cheaper than buying 06 projectors
