Your headlights look awesome! Are the halos and LED lights white or are they blue? They look white to me and the add that I linked made no mention of the color at all...where/what HID lights did you get, and how blue is the light from you 8000k lights?

Yeah I like Killer's headlights better than the ones I have (the ones you linked to). I had a set before the ones I have now. Unfortunately the light output isn't as good. The halos are bright white.

I've considered modifying my current ones some (painting some of the "excess" chrome black), or get another set of the others and retrofit a better projector inside, or something... haven't done anything yet though.

I have to the replace the weatherstripping on mine also unfortunately it is cracking and coming off, and the halo's are not lighting up on one of them... just haven't had time to take them apart and fix them. Have had them for about 2 years now...

I used to have these as well with HIDs. I did not like the light output of them. They had less output than the stock headlights. The beam pattern was to narrow. The sonar projectors that SparkyJJO has on his car, have better light output.

the halos and leds are white. I sell HID kits and my set is the high wattage 55w ballast. normal HIDs are 35w. with these lights (and my fogs have HIDs 35w 6000k) the light output is awesome!!! I also did the wire mod to allow highbeams, fogs, and lowbeams to stay on all at the same time, so it effin' bright.
