I have 5,000k HIDs in my stock housings and they're perfectly fine, no blue light just pure white
No scatter of light or blindness to other drivers
Oh and to make things even better, I payed roughly $60 from a reputable company for everything and the bulbs will last me years
I had the same kit in my old Pontiac and they lasted me 2+ years without dimming or anything (would've lasted longer if it didn't get totaled)
I did not get the bi-xenon bulbs (although I will sometime soon) because I have auxiliary lights that I use for brights
I get plenty of down road light that's much brighter than any halogen
I've never ran into any problem with the law or other drivers either
I fully get that some people cannot run HIDs in their location for whatever reason, but the KJ housings have been my favorite for HIDs so far and I will continue to use them to for the best light, cheapest cost, and longest lasting performance compared to a halogen bulb
Some expensive bulbs claim they're "as bright or as white as an HID" which is a complete lie
I've had the Sylvania ZXE, Philips, etc and none compare to my HIDs in any way
Now, don't get me wrong, I hate when people have the 8,000k-12,000k HIDs that are blue/purple and don't adjust them and blind everyone
That annoys me to no end, and I light them up with every bit of light I can when they come toward me
But, if you use your head and aim them down slightly, you still get plenty of light and you're not blinding anyone; I see no reason as to why more people don't use HIDs
Unless of course, you like yellow looking light (older folk most of the time) or you simply can't due to inspection and whatnot in your area
So you tell me, you wouldn't want better down-road visibility in all direction ahead, bright white light, or longer lasting light for less than the cost of a halogen?
I'd take all of those before spending another $60-$70 on a halogen with much less capability
Who is spending 60-70 on halogens? Got the Phillips Extreme for way under half that and like I have mentioned on the 04 have lasted over 5 years. To me its a no brainer at all. I'm never running others UNLESS the vehicle was designed to run them from the factory. PLUS its not because I am old , heck Troy is half my age and he doesn't think you should either :happy175:
