      that looks sort of like an 8000k kit because of the higher wattage. I'm going with the 35w 8000k I think. Really blue but great visibility. That looks like a really nice kit. Is it really bright on the road? Maybe a night shot?

        They took me about half an hour to put in. It comes with a fused Relay harness one lead goes straight to the battery you have to mount he relay. Then you have to run it to each side of the car and hook up the 2 grounds one for each hid lamp. Then put the bulbs in the houseings hookup the balasts and use the supplyed double sided tape to mont them. Hook up the connectors at the bulbs. hook up the connector on the hid harness to one of the factory hookups and your done. aside from securing some wireing.

        Really straight foreward to install. comes with instructions but i did not even look at them pretty self explanitory.

        The slim line ballasts are slightly larger than a creditcard and a 1/4 inch thick. so really small. compared to my ebay kit with conventional balasts about 4in wide 5in long and atleast 3/4in thick.

        I was realy impressed with this kit the ebay ones have no connection to the battery they just connect strait to the existing wireing of the stock headlamps.

        I can post pics of the ballasts and the relay and things if people want to see them.

        Yeah they are amazing on the road I will get a night shot today its suppose to be about 30 out as opposes to the 3 degrees yesterday.

        It took about 15 days to get them due to the low price and i orderd mine on Christmas eve so that didnt help but they said it would take a little while right on there sight so i was not woryed about it. Worth the wait.

          I have the 8k or 9k i dont remember and there both low and high beam which differs from most sets. But I will get pictures soon with the EDM glass lights so we can really see the difference with a LHD glass light. Im also going to put a set on my 99 4runner so I can blind people in lowered cars.

            mmmm blinding. I want to get this kit soon, it sounds like a good find for the money. I'm still working on getting my wiring kit and sub box. I only got 8 hours next week at work due to budget cuts.

              just ordered them last night. I didn't go with dd because I was drinking and said "I want to save money". So I spent about 2 hrs on eBay and found a set of 35w 6000k super slim h4s. They should be here in 2-3 days(don't know if weekend days count). They were 65 shipped. I'll see if they're any good then.

                  I purchased originally, a set of Euro Headlights (Clear Glass, H4 bulbs, JDM specifications) for the BF 323 GT. At the same time, I purchased a cheapy set of the Very light tint blue 35W HIDs, I think they cost me a total of $75 shipped. Ive had them a year, and i will tell you, they are one of the best investments i have ever made. They are super bright, efficient, and clear. They go very well with the clear glass headlights. For pics, look in my Gallery. Hope they work well for you. I think I will get another kit that has High Beams.

                  I strictly stayed away from the colored HID's as to not draw attention from the police Department, and to stay in the legal relmification. I even installed them and took them to the city police department for a Police officers oppinion. They checked it from a few different angles, and said they had no problems what so ever. Im happy. :D

                          yes. Mine were 9004 when I had the usdm lights. The jdm/edm lights take a h4/9003.

                            1st gens take 9004. Look on sylvania's website for bulb types if you aren't sure. It gives you a list of practically every light in your car.
                            Those night shots look nice, I want a pair of them now! :D I'm more of an 8000k person myself, at least the light output doesn't decrease as much as 10000k.
