no offense, but its kinda rice to me. 6000k is too blue, you would get more light output with 4100k, also you need true hid projectors for best results, using hids in a non hid reflector housing will cause vast amounts of glare, and uneven lighting with hotspots. its just best to stay away from hid kits. now you could possibly get some nice large hid projectors to fit in the fog light area which will in turn be much better than your standard headlights, but you would probably have to move them forward some since the foglights are set so deep into the bumper,

I could angle them to the outside but they'd look wierd, plus with how deep they are back there it'd be next to impossible to get a good looking pattern. And I know I should have used projectors, but 1) I don't want a small *** projector fog light in there 2) Where are you going to find a projector that is 4in+? 3) I'm going to put projectors in the headlight down the road sometimes. The 6000k bulb came with the kit....if you think it's rice thats your own opinion, but I like it, my car, my money, I'm happy.....There is very little glare and the beam is very direct for a non projector housing. They do what fog lights are supposed to do.....light the immediate road ahead of you!! I got them from blinglights.com just follow the links to your car and you'll see a kit for these.

Looks like the two points of light are meeting way too early. I would point them a little more away from each other so they don't just light one point in front of you, rather illuminate a wider field of vision.
