Default 98 TA HIDs installed
I got these from another member on the board. They are 6000K and look pretty good. I'm trying to figure out how to get a sharper cut-off though. Here are before and after shots. The comparisons were shot using a 2 sec exposure at f3.5 and the last shot is a 5 sec exposure on a almost completely dark road.

Thanks for the comments. I really like how much more on the road I can see now. Here's a shot from the front compared with the high beams.
