    As in bulbs? If so HIDs. Regardless of where you get them. MUCH better then the halogen crap that is in these cars.

    As in Assemblies... IF so MHO is the Black Crystals. SOME people like Projectors. It is really kinda just a preference thing.

    Why would they break?

    Its a stock housing, just black chrome, made the same way.

    10k is lame. Go 5 or 6k for better light output than extreme blue like 10k.

    Agreed on the HID's, darn good light output if you use a 5 or 6k bulb.

    Smoked LED tails are pretty neat.

    I have 5k and really the only time I see anykinda tint in the light on the road is RIGHT after I turn the headlights on. But after they warm up they are fine.

    more blue = LESS useable light....


    That is an HID 5k light with the other one being the stock crappy thing.

    thats the light output.. I needed to replace one of the headlights due to BAD fogging and they needed to be re-aimed. BUT you can at least see the color output of 5k.

    I just got some stockers from Rock Auto. They look so much better without the hazing and leaking, and the HID's are that much brighter with clear lenses.....
