I'm a little worried that you guys need more light and are currently driving on roads at night.

I've been driving for four years ( only 20 ) and I've never been in a wreck, has problems seeing at night when driving, or gotten a ticket. So I'm doing 100% better than everyone my age when they have perfect 20/20 vision.

Then you'd want nothing more than 5000k lights to get your eyes the most usable light!

Your OEM lights are HIDs. All I am reading is you want blue headlights because they look cooler. Was your last car an Integra?

Another huge reading comprehension fail, I even mention on my last car I have projector headlights, all those rice boxes use reflective housings.

So many ignorant posts coming up, this is ridiculous.

Good lord. I can't believe the hostility aimed at somebody that likes lights with a slight bluish tint. I don't like them myself, but they don't bother me if somebody else likes them either.

For the record, I owned an Integra GS-R. It was an awesome car that served me well for 10 years and 120k miles. I also currently own a 4 door Diesel 4 wheel drive Super Duty, an old Honda Civic, and a 2012 Mustang GT. Does this make me a ricer redneck??? LOL

In my experience the bluish tint starts to really be noticable with 6000k+ kelvin bulbs. My acura had 4300k stock (I think) and I upgraded to 5000k, which seemed like a whiter light. Whether it put out more light or not, it appeared whiter and more pure than the slighly yellowish 4300k. I like the whiter light vs the slighly yellow HID's.

I haven't gotten my 5.0 yet, but you wanna know what I call rice? Fake side scoops and fake hood scoops. The stick on hood scoops I can understand sorta, some look pretty good, but what's with the stick on faux rear scoop?

It's true. In fact registered democrats claiming to have night blindness get free 6000K bulbs under Obamacare. Or are the free bulbs part of the "no blind driver left behind" program? I forget.

How ironic. If only you had bailed before GRN 5OH left because you made fun of his inability to read:
