HID install/sub install

You guys give me a opinion, how good/bad of a job did i do installing my sub and hids. Keep in mind that I built the box for the sub from scratch. What you guys think?

They are 8000K, in the other pics i have they look real white, they got a bluish tint to them in person; think the camera's slackin on pickin up the right hues. but i like those pics, ( i was contemplating on getting the more purple bulbs).

the higher the number on the bulb, the more purple it will get and the LESS visibility you'll have.

Where did you get your HIDs and how was the installation process? I've been thinking about it lately to change my halogens to HIDS

the kit is xentec, i actually have a extra kit back home if your interested. Its the same exact kit, installation isnt too bad, ur hands jus ache afterwords from squeezing in the tight spaces. PM me if your interested im tryna get rid of the extra kit for 180. the bulb is 8000k. really nice addition, makes a hella of a difference. but maybe its just me, im a HID enthusiasts, before i got mine i'd spot every set of HIDs on the road. haha.
