best light output is from 4000k-6000k, any higher than it is blue and useless, also my 5000k is perfect for the frosted headlights, u dont see glare, and if u dont think that, get a set of frosted headlights and put my kit in and see.

And they are also $500 a pair. I am looking to spend about $300 for both front a rear door speakers. I have an ADS amp that will run at 2 ohm so i have thought about going 2 ohm all the way around and just going all out just don't know a good set of SQL 2 ohm speakers.

The problem is that at $300 for both sets i might be able to still get my SC. At $100 just for speakers there is no chance, i will take the SC.

I think i will grab some ADS speakers and see what i think.

On IMG_0730 & IMG_0731, there are 3 dots (1 in the center & 2 in the lower part) on the headlamps. What are those for? Are those part of the HID retrofit?

Thanks!

And i have to say that other than a few that were bad when you actually looked at them the differnce between the HID and normal headlights was almost nothing.

Now the real blue ones were kinda annoying just because the color made them that way but there was still no more glare.

And then when you are behind someone i tried out my HID's on all my other car around and except for the really low sitting corrola every other one didn't have any problem at all with my lights. even the corrola was not that bad with the dimming mirror. But you could see the light pattern just going past the rear window. But that is going to happen no matter what lights you have.
Not fair?

How is that not fair?

I'm starting a new thread, since riceandpho has a really sweet truck, and I'm not going to clutter up his thread with this. Should you wish to continue the discussion, feel free to join in over there.

You are very brave. In california, I'd be worried about getting shot being mistaken for a cop by some gangbanger.

ya, if you were behind me i'd pull over. crap, its a red flashing light. but then if you came over laughing telling me you were jokeing around with other people driveing 4runners i'd get out and kick your ass. or if you just drove around me i'd follow you and....you guessed it. then i'd call the cops on you for impersonating a cop ))
