Thanks Shin!

Shin donated his 12k HID's to me last night at the Dick's meet. I'll have to see how they look at night but so far i think they look nice because the color is a little closer to my fog/parking lights.

Thanks Shin!

Left = stock, right = 12k


Both 12k


OMG LENS FLARES!!!!

The flare on the engine cover was a nice touch, I like how it's hanging there like a trophy.

Looks really good man... I wonder how close to white you can get? Shin's now are bluer, so this definitely looks better on your car.

I was worried because i read up on 12k lights a bit and everyone said the emitted purple light. As you can see, these don't.

So far me likey!

Hopefully they have the same visibility that the stockers did.

Yes, i find flicking on the brights to be a difficult task as well

j/k -- just giving you a hard time



I all honesty they're not bad. Yes they are less bright than the stock bulbs but the only time i really noticed was when i was on dark country roads with no one else around. I'll run with them for a while and feel them out.
