Quick HID question

[99Yuk]

+1 on the light output issue.


I had 8000k on the front, and I thought that I loved them.

Then I put 5000k in the reverse bulbs. I noticed the difference right away and first I didn't like the creamyness of the 5000k's. But then over a few months time, I noticed that when backing up, I could see more on the ground than I could going forward.

So I ordered up 5000k's for the front.
Night and day difference in light output.
The 8000k's don't bath anything in light, but anything that is reflective show up.

The 5000k's bath everything in a white light, much easier to see things, then relying on a reflection of the 8000k's. Does that make sence?

If you do any kind of extended night driving, then I would suggest 5000k's.

BTW, kudos for even doing the mod!

So reading all these posts on the DDM HID's, I am curious to see what type of headlight housing y'all are using. I guess the TYC Elegantes are the best, but anything else out there that is similar? The HID kit isn't the expensive part, its the headlight housing that is holding me back from doing this mod. I don't think it'll be a good idea to do HID's in my crappy old stock headlight housings.

Thanks!
