Hey guys,
I have a dilemma right now. I am nearing the end of my solara modding in the near future, due to the student loan payments beginning and my strong desire to get out of debt in a hurry as I will be a newlywed as well. BUT, I will probably keep the solara for a damn long time.

My questions:
1. I will be buying the blacked out headlights soon. Do you guys have a seller that you recommend for best quality?

2. I am still considering buying Mark's 5300k HID's, but am concerned with their light output in the aftermarket housing. How will they look? Thealkimo, do you have this setup?

3. I do a lot of rural driving at night and it is pretty damn wooded around here. I need my high beams for sure, but really can't afford another $140 for dual fillament HID and am pretty scared about buying a $100 bulb when one blows in a couple years. Would I be better off just getting some Nokya's? I know the guys that have the Arctic Whites (7000k) have loved them...does anyone have the Cosmic Whites? (5000k)

4. How is the light output for the nokya's in the black housed lights? I already have the nokya yellow fogs...

Thanks for all the help guys.

If you are interested in the blacked out headlights, I'll be selling mine. Since I did the 1.5 conversion, I won't be needing these anyomore. PM me if you want them and we'll make a deal. :D

If you really want brightness, I wouldnt recomend the nokya lights. I just bought 6000k and they seem dimmer than my silverstars I had which are 4000k. I dont know if it has to do with the black headlights or if it has to do with the lights cause I put them in the same time I did the black headlight housing. I think I may have to angle my lights up a bit more and that could solve the problem. But I was a little diappointed on how bright they shine on the road. Check out he PIAA lights. Ive heard that those are really good. Ill try adjusting mine a little higher this weekend to see if I can get some more road coverage and Ill let you know.
