Hey guys im looking all over for these carbon fiber headlights, and tinted taillight covers for my 2000 GTP, as well as those lights im not sure what the correct name for them is, but its those really bright blue, i ordered a pair from ebay and they were called like eurodesign or something like that and the pic showed that they were bright blue, but when i turned them on they were like normal headlights, what are the ones im lookin for and where can i find them.

they make carbin fiber covers not headlights, ony black headlights and black projectors, , why did you waste your money? your looking for hid's. go to ebaymotors and type in "hid kit" you need 9007 for stock headlights, and h1 for projectors,

They don't make tail light covers for our cars. We get them tinted with paint. Headlight covers are available from PFYC.
The Eurodesign lights are a joke. Go with HIDs from eBay.

You can buy the tint on eBay .. VHT Niteshadez are the best i believe. As for the HID kits, the output colour / brighntess is determined on the number .. such as 10000K HIDS are blue i believe? 6000K HIDS white.

3k is yellow. 4300k is white as white gets and they are the brightest. 6k is white w/ a tiny hint of blue. 8k is blue. 10k is starting to get aqua. 12k is purple.

and to add to that, the higher up the temp scale you go (higher number of kelvin) the less light output you get. The brightest starts at 4300k with anything more or less than 4300k being less bright.
3000k is less bright than 4300k. 4300k is brighter than 6000k, 6000k is brighter than 8000k, 8000k is brighter than 10000k, etc.

get matching kits, either both 8000k heads and fogs or 10000k heads and fogs, not one of each. You'll regret it later if you don't.

You will regret getting 10k anything. The light output is awful. Go with 6k everything or 8k everything

get 6k if you want a little blue, 8k if you want a lot (but you lose quite a bit of output even stepping from 6k to 8k). Here's my 4.7ks, pure white. and a blurry output pic:

if you care about actual brightness/light output, go with the 8ks. If you don't care about that (it'll still be better than stock), go with 10s. From what you have said, anyways.
