I've seen many cars lately with those BLUE colored headlights, and i'm like I should put some on my solara too. :D lol

So yea if you have those xenon/HIDs headlight what's the best website/place to get them? I've been looking around online but i don't know which one to go with.

get the McCulloch kits from Mark (krawzyazn). the quality is fantastic and the color is superb. if you really want blue i would go with 8k.

Wow, all the different kits are really confusing to me. Is there a primer anywhere that explains the differences between all of these things? If not, anyone have a specific recommendation for a blueish white HID set? I don't want the extreme blue that makes you stand out and get pulled over, but the yellow must go.

I would deffinatley stay away from VVME... i bought 2 sets from them last year and so far, i have two ballast that went bad and one bulb... so i'm driving with my driver side headlight and fog light only now.

And their warranty is crap, once i reported that one of their ballast is bad and had watter in it, they said to ship to them which costs like 20$ which is the price of new ballast.

VVMe is cheap crap... thats all i got to say

yes warrenty could be a pain for vvme since their kits are shipped out from over seas.

Gz if you are planing on doing that be prepared to replace them as the drls might cause them to die prematurely... just and fyi but im pretty sure you kno that already.

if you really want blue get 6k
the gen 2 housing makes the color slightly bluer than others
also anything past that ur lights willl be useless
