i need new headlights quick, dont have time or money for real HID, maybe down the road some time
but i want the mock HID look haha help me decide on which one of the following to get ultra violet http://www.automotivelightingusa.com/index.php?...cPath=10_22&products_id=1372 ultra white http://www.automotivelightingusa.com/index.php?...cPath=10_22&products_id=1243 pure blue http://www.automotivelightingusa.com/index.php?...cPath=10_22&products_id=1243 like i said i want a good look that will stand out from the normal bulb look, and go for the HID style, but of course i also need to be able to see! and not get too much crap from the po-lice i would really like to get the purple if they are true purple but my friend got a "violet" replacement bulb from another company and its not violet or purple at all, kind disappointing, so i was thinking the pure blue, but that might be like HARDCORE too blue to even see well so open to any other brands or suggestions too any other from this page http://www.automotivelightingusa.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=10_22 |

I personally like the Ultra white look better than anything. I hate the "colors" such as blue/purple.

Around here the "colors" are a great way to get police attention

yeah well i was looking at the examples and the ultra lights do have the HID blue-ish hue to them that i want, so i might go with those
anyone else? also a-ray i figured out the fog lights, have you done yours yet? |

Yes, I have changed out both headlights and fog lights. Can't remember the exact color for the fogs, but I know they are Luminics brand. I might see if I can go get a quick picture. |

I will have to look at the box to know the color of the fogs. But they are a pure white. I still have the box as I put the old ones in it to save. My headlights are supposedly an 8000k. I tried to get some pics, but you can't tell anything. |

None of the above. Silverstars or any +50 style bulb, or HIDs. The above just look cheezy and have craptacular output.

Get the cheapo eGay kit in the red box. Mine's been going for over a year no problems, few friends have them also, one has had his almost a year and a half, one for 6 months. No problems out of any of them.
