    I second that, HID bulbs in a halogen housing are not ideal, they really need proper protection housings to work properly. You are going to anger a lot of oncoming traffic...
    And that blue tint is going to really mess with you night colors.

      Yea 5k is my favorite but the guy i get them from was out of stock and 6k was the least blue he had unfortunately. And i just realized the bi xenon does nothing when u hit the high/low lever. But other then that i can still see better at night lol

          Another update; today i installed some ebay coilovers for a civic to lower the car (till i can afford the $600 coilovers) and it actually came out exactly how i wanted it and the best thing is its adjustable so i can go lower or higher when i find the wheels/tires i want for it and put them on. Ride kind of sucks but its not any worse than the civic i used to own lol.. Heres some pics of the sleeves and springs on the stock shocks. will post pics of the car tomorrow when its light out. Happy 4th of July btw!!

            You got a link to the sleeves and springs? Also some pics of it now sitting low - this might be my cheap fix till I do the coilovers properly too haha

              Here's the pics of how it sits as of now. And of course it is adjustable so i can go up or down if i wanted. Definitely a good way to go till you can afford the good stuff. I definitely need some wheels/tires now. But this car is coming out just how i want it

                  I suspect you didn't receive a true bi-xenon kit. There should be a motor (solenoid) assembly at the base of the bulb and a separate trigger wire for the high low function.
                  Trees aren't kind to me...

                  currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
                  94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

                    I assume it's just a bulb and ballast that fits stock housings...

                      I actually did. And then i hit the high beams it doesn't get brighter but you can see the light move and when you put it back to low it doesnt do anything. You have to turn them off and then back on again to reset. Idk if its because they arnt in a projector housing or because theres an issue with the motors in the bulbs

                        They should reset as soon as the high signal goes away. You have bad motors or a latched signal issue.
