Boring stock lights...


After HID install (NO its not an f-bod but you get the point)




This is the best investment i've made on my daily driver... I would say the improvement is almost 80% better vision at night. Even with projector lenses, i get flashed often... If you dont want them this blueish PM me. I'll refer you to the seller of these HID kits.

$120 shipped w/ warranty! I will be putting these on EVERY car i ever own.

I completly disagree with putting HID bulbs into a headlight housing designed for halogen bulbs. The glare coming from them is outragous.

I spent quite a deal of time and money, creating custom headlights. They are BMW Bi-Xenon projectors inside of the headlight housing, accented with the Halo rings.

I would love to do more prototypes, and eventually production, but since time and since it would cost quite a bit of money in capital i can not do it.

I have the same silverstar low beams i did 2 years ago, i love them, +1 for not having to use high beams on country roads at night, so much brighter than stock. I also have the amber replacement silverstar bulbs for my sidemarkers(clear) and only blew one because it fogged up, but a drill took care of that problem.

go with the silverstars!

9006SU Silverstar ULTRA for Ultra Night Vision - The Whitest and Brightest Halogen
9005SU Silverstar ULTRA for Ultra Night Vision - The Whitest and Brightest Halogen

I got these it was 98 Bucks. On ebay it was about 80 to 85. So I just went ahead and got them. They had some hella xenon but these were blue tintied and kinda fake HID look ricey. And I don't like unwanted attention.

These bulbs are MUCH whiter than the normal silverstars I had in there(previous owner) and I took them out and put them in my daily driver. If anybody is intersted I might could do some beam shots.
