Project HID conversion *pic*

hey guys well while undergoing surgery for my car i had a good friend of mine who had 8000k hid's on his eg6 well he decided to go with a different set so he sold me his kit for $15 that included the 2 8000k bulbs 2 igniters and 2 ballast i went to the local advance auto parts i looked around and found a housing with an h4 adapter for $20 i decided ehhh what the hell lets try it out so after about 20min of some splicing and wiring and heat shrink wrapping heres a pic of the difference between a stock sylvania bulb compared to an 8k HID bulb... let me know what you think =)



Thanks
TwEaK

The fact they are more than 4300K makes them less bright...

You can pick up some E code housings for not that much money...

+1 for sleepy eyes, or something similar. If you angle them down you'll still get the added brightness from your view, plus you won't **** off every driver and/or cause old ladies to drive into ditches.
