Gauges top to bottom: Glowshift Boost Aeroforce Scan Gauge Glowshift Oil Pressure Out-put of 8000K HID's also (Those are lows, remember my HID's are inverted because I have Bi-Xenon, that's why the high beam light is on) Just a shot of the engine bay (Might end up pitchin' the engine cover).... Now if I could only get rid of the knock...

looks really good man. I am so jealous of your light output, mine is HORRIBLE right now with the same kit.

I wonder why that is? When I first took it out for a spin in the dark, I was kinda dissappointed with the light output cause it kinda had a "cool light effect", which I guess is true about the 8000K kit. But now that it seems like they are kinda "heating-up" a little better (since i've used them a couple times), the output actually looks pretty good.

I also hate Winter. Am thinking of going to school in BC where they don't get winter.
I used self tapping screws so don't really want to take them out and I did a pretty good job with sanding down the paint but it's always possible, i'll sand it down again.
but I really think it's just the housings.

VVME bi xenon. And yes, the hi's are also HID.
they are not telescoping bulbs, they retract in and out.

VVME...
From one of R.S. post: The bulb only moves in and out, their is a solenoid in the base of the bulb which when activated sucks the bulb in and reflects the light at a different angle, they aren't telescoping bulbs so they don't actually move up and down.
Myself, I noticed a slight difference in light-up areas, but if you are on a pitch black road actually the "high-beam HID" works rather well. I tested this out last night, you can see a further distance down the road, unlike the low beam.

You guys could come down to Florida for school. It's nice and warm down here.
Taz- take lots and lots of pics of your headers. They won't be shiny for long. I've never seen a ceramic coating stay shiny like that.

Yeah, my hi beam works mediocre at best I would say. The light is scattered horribly but it points so low I can't really tell how well they work.

What are some good colleges there that offer the Paramedic course? The heat is what changes the color I think. I heard of a product that brings the shine back, would be nice for shows as obviously once they heat up they'll revert back to the dull look.

Normal highs? That's not possible with HID's.

they do have HID's that have a halogen hi beam filament with it as well.
What you need is the relay harness and the bulbs. The ballasts are all the same.

Looks like it, their English is a little wonky but I think what they mean is that they will provide the relay harness. So yes, that is all you need.
I wish I had saw that earlier, I would have saved a bit on my bi xenons.

Wow, I had no idea they had that. My bad. Is the high beam halogen output any better than the low beam HIDs?

I thought telescoping bulbs change the pitch of the bulb up or down?
I never thought about it but what you say makes sense.
