So are the 6k better than the 8k that some other forum members have? The 6k do look good Tx.

Not that they're better, just a different look. The 8k's are real blue, the 6k's white and purple. The 6k's give out more light too. It just depends on what style your goin' for. I think the 8k's would look awesome on a winning blue 8. It'll match the color of the car perfectly.

I'd say about a week. I ordered last night. I'll get pics after the install.,

I just check my email. I got 2 separate tracking numbers(1 from rx8garage and 1 from premier) and both can't be found yet. They say it might be too early to check on the status. I'll check again tonight

It usually takes a day for the tracking process to start online. Good luck and post PICS!

Very tempting. TxRx8, how evil of you to post more pics.. especially after seeing them in your other thread.
I know HIDs are supposed to last longer than halogen, but how long can we expect these aftermarket HIDs to last compared to the stock HIDs? I am really trying to resist buying more stuff for my car. This forum is evil. How much did you guys pay?

Paid $305 shipped. They have a 1 yr warranty and my Subaru buds swear this brand lasts about 3 yrs. We'll see!

Not sure about the warranty thing, but I think if you just replace the bulbs it wont matter. Just switch 'em back if anything happens and say you never touched 'em.

I might as well do this before someone beats me to it... :D


Check out my pics here dude:
