We have the 8K in Tams SS and the are a light blue, kinda like the new maximas and luxury cars. They are awesome, we still haven't changed her high beams and when switching between the two you can tell a big difference in clearity. I have a buddy that sells them so if anyone wants some let me know I can sell them for 155 a set for single beam or 280 a set for low beam and fog lights... if you have a duel element bulb its a little more.

her car is black, and we also recently installed a new set of headlights, which are all chrome but we are about to put to lens cover on her blacked out lights. They look good with her all chrome lights, can't wait to see what they will look like with the blacked-out background lights.

Since the topic came up........... I ordered a set of ebay halos and they fit like horrible rotten ***. I do want an 8000 series light in whatever replacement housing I can find. About to get the car on the back on the road and would appreciate a few links to setups that fit and adjust correctly.

Thanks

Brandon
