Note: You have to choose which color you want, and it defaults to 5000K. So if you are looking for the same bulbs I have, change the color to 6000K Diamond Blue.
Thanks for the heads up, first page link is fixed also.

Yea I know if I get all 6k that everything will match but that's not what I want. I want my HIDs to be slightly whiter than my parking lights.
I basically want white HIDs (possibly 5k) and everything else (parking lights, fogs. Corners) 6k.
My goal is basically the pic above. Any advice as to which colour temp bulbs will give me that look ? Any help aipex8?

They aren't actually sold out, they changed their site a bit and the link was broken. Here is the new link:

Another quick question that I'm wondering if the LED footwell lights comes with the wiring? Im debating if i should get the 12inch and cut it into for my passenger and driver side or just getting 2 6inch strips.

Wait, you cant take a 12 inch and cut it in half and use it on each side since the leads are only on one end. If you want footwell leds you need to get 2 6". Unless you want to cut the 12" and make your own wire to connect between them.
edit: oops i see pbjose said basically the same thing.

They are however, the same type of bulb that I would have bought from VLEDs so there shouldn't be a difference. 35w 6000k HIDs with slim ballasts. I have not had these bulbs in for even two hours; I turned them on when it got dark and noticed that I could see a little bit of smoke coming out from the lens of each headlight. I'm starting to think that maybe the outside temperature has something to do with it? It's about 65 degrees over here right now.
They do look fantastic though. They match 100% perfectly with the running light LEDs that I got from VLEDs. I'll try to post a picture up maybe tomorrow.

Definitely smoke and not water vapor?
Both lights doing the same thing? I think I'd pull them out and look for any charring. I guess it could be just some protective coating on the bulb burning off, but I don't know if I'd want to assume that.

I actually ended up buying a different set of HIDs, sold by DDM Tuning. I did not require homemade spacers as the spacers that they came with fit just fine.
