too blue, left seems too high
change out the courtesy lights so they don't look so 'yellow'. Vled 194 bulbs will do the trick

way too blue for my liking... looks kinda riceish..

I went with a 6k Kit, to me its the best of both worlds, has a nice color and some usuable light and it doesnt stick out like a total aftermarket kit.

Jedi, if im not mistaken a proper HID setup should have a slope from Left to right? Something like a drop off? -----\___ something like that? but not as dramatic. I remember reading on HID forums that the HID's naturally has a beam pattern like this?

StigMan said it - anything north of 7000 or 8000 'K' is a cop magnet, just looking to get pulled over. Might just as well drive round with underglow neon .

Hope you have a 'spotless' car, because they WILL find something.......

Yea, I remember your thread. I love your HID's.. They are perfect. I might get some of those soon. The K-Light HID 6k kit.
