Default Installed some 10000k low beams this weekend (pics)

So I had 8000k fogs already and hated how dull looking the stock 4300k low beams were so I picked up some 10000k d1s bulbs from ebay and the brightest 194 on earth from another site.. here are my results. It looks much classier IMO with these (pictures never do lights justice though)

Daytime





And nighttime

Hows the visibility?
Do you have to remove the headlight or can you just remove the bulb from the rear?

Looks great man.

I had mine done with the other tails. I know you bought your tails tinted though so you didn't have the op. to do them at the same time.

Just go to ebay and search d1s and the temp 10000k 8000k etc and you will find tons of options

For the fogs search 9005 hid conversion or 9145 hid conversion and they are really cheap these days
