Makes the driving experience new again ?! it's strange being able to see the road better, as well as the surroundings !

ooooohhh 8000...... I had a 6000k on my old 300ZX, and it had a nice faint blue tint to the edges of the beam patterns... Bet the 800 has a REALLY nice blue tint to it.... hmmmmmmm

Go on, how much was it then??

You have to see it to belive the power of the hids,There is no going back once you drive with these,
8K is way up the spectrum thou,Almost bluey purple.

I'm negotiating a group buy for us.

The 8000k kit will cost £230.

The quality is amazing for the price and they come with a years guarantee.

Siamblue is quite right, the amount of light on the road has to be seen to be appreciated - I'll try and take some pics on the road of the lights.

We had some videos, but even they didn't really show the benefit of the HIDs.

PS. if you want a kit, let me know, might be able to squeeze the guy a little more.
