I wouldn't worry about it that much Rasp. As long as you dont drive cross-country or anything, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. Again, they look real good dude.

 

They do look good and i started a thread a yr ago
when i first got my 8 stating i would change the factory bulbs for 8000k and i got flamed
like hell. Now i see im not the only one that would of liked a change
great job both cars look awesome.

 

I wish I lived in Cali, so I could just bribe you to do this for me! lol... Im not skilled enough to take off bumpers and stuff like that

 

It's not very hard, removing the bumber only takes about 15 minutes. Give it a try and shoot me a PM if you have any questions.

 

Dont know if you're a busy guy... but I'd like to take a look at your HIDs. I live in Fullerton, what part of LA are u in? and do you ever go to any meets?

thx

 

wondering if there are bulbs bout the same colour 8000k but for the high beam. Been looking around for ages so as to complete the look.

 

Yeah, we could meet up some where this weekend or whenever, if you'd like. I've never been to any of the Fullerton meets.

 

There are many places where you can get an H7 HID. The place that I bought my HID fog lights from sells a H7 kits as well. The problem with using HID's for your high beam is that HID's have a start up time of 2-5 seconds. Therefore, they won't be any good for flashing at people because they can't start fast enough. Also, it is very hard on the HID ballast to start and stop the bulbs before they have warmed up. Overall, I think HID high beams isn't a great idea.

 

how about bulbs that look reasonably close to that colour.

HID high beams are way out unless you're intending to drive with it on all the way but risk dissing people off and having them slam the brakes or worse... getting pulled over by the cops.

 

Well, I wont have my car until the end of the month. Just moved here from Texas and was forced to leave it behind. Flying back the 23rd and driving it back. Maybe sometime after that ok? Maybe we can take a comparison pic to post so others can see... (my stock HIDs vs your 8500K HIDs)

I'm going through a tough time without my 8

I took these pics a while back. You can see the differance pretty well.

 

Good pic! I'm assuming you're the 2nd from the right? Visibility change much?

... i'll be sure to let you know when I get my car back so I can check em out whenever you're around. Also want to take a look at your carputer.
