Not my cup of tea, but as long as you're happy. You should get some projectors for those bad boys.

Looks nice to me. I am looking to put some purple fogs in mine to match the purple and blue things I got going on.

12k is stupid. Just making it harder for yourself to see at night and making driving more dangerous at night for yourself.

Get some projectors. You're gonna get flashed a lot and maybe even pulled over. But they might hassle you anyways because those are really blue.

I respect the fact you wanted to try to something different. 2 things though, around 5k is going to be the most brighest and usable/brightest light and when it rain or roads are wet, the dampness absorbs some of the light and can make it tougher to see. Secondly, 12k is blinding to oncoming traffic.

good lord another HID thread where someone posts up what kind he got and the whole forum bashes him on how he should get projectors because they are going to blind people and that 12k isn't bright enough and that he should have gotten this that and the other thing..

they look great buddy!

I had 12k in my lows and fogs and they were WAY brighter than my stock bulbs could ever be and I never got flashed for them

just be sure to aim them correctly and you should be fine :Handshake:

only reason I swapped mine out is because of our cities police department loves to harass people and they followed me around for about a month straight handing out random tickets and one was for blue headlights

so I since switched to 8k :)

My only dislike is the fogs, never been a fan of the yellow, other than that it looks cool. Hows the lighting with the mixture of the 12000k and 3000k? never used lighting with different bulbs before.

Kasey you ever think of matching your fogs with your heads and doing purple parking lamp leds?

the combo has actually been really cool, theres been lots of fog around where i live and the beam it throws actually looks green at points. if your thinking about doing a combo do it! i used to have 8k in lows and fogs and like this so much more

Looks great man. Let all the haters hate. I have 55 watt 12k's and ******* love them. Just adjust your headlights and you will never have a problem. Ive never been flashed or pulled over.

To everybody else, Its not you vehicle and its not your money, so let the man do what he wants to his shit.

I like the color combo too but the glare to oncoming traffic is a safety issue and that's why I suggested projectors. Sorry,No offense to Calder but I'd flash him if he came at me with those. Anyways, do what you think looks good, that's what matters.

Or, maybe there's a law somewhere about color/intensity/aim of headlights that you were violating? People can do what they want to their lights, but remember there are laws governing automotive lighting. Anything other than OEM is technically a violation, so don't whine when you get a ticket, or call it harassment when you get pulled over.

Just sayin'.....

I like the look, personally. I think it looks pretty cool. BUT....well, everyone else covered the issues. ;)
