Thumbs up Got the HIDs today

HIDs from the sig contest came in today and I wasted no time putting them in. AMAZING is all I have to say.

I still need to adjust them so they angle downwards more but I'm going to let it get darker out.

Some pics, the foglights are as white as silverstar's

They're 8000k, maybe dangerously blue (wonder how long till a cop pulls me over), but they're nice. If I had a choice I'd get 6000k as those are all white, I don't mind these at all though..being able to see at night is amazing. Right now the beams are focused on the trunk area of a normal car about 3 car lengths ahead, think that's too high? I didn't get flashed at by the 20 or so cars driving in the opposite lane.

on stangmods there is a dual beam kit for the normal headlights and not the projectors. What does that mean, dual beam? And single beam?

Dual beam means it has high and low beam, single beam means it's just low beam.

Having no high beam is technically illegal.

BTW PCola.... has that HID kit really made much of a difference in night vision? I have been toying with this idea of getting them but I dont know if they are "all for show" or have real utillity to them. If they dont make that big of a difference then I would just deal with what I got instead of dishing out that cash... I cant see squat right now.... thats part of the reason my car is screwed now is cuz I didnt see that deer until it was 4 feet from me.
