I just finished installing my 8000k HID kit on my kouki today and went out in the darkness to see how they look. And they look so good, I need to adjust the projectors a bit still but the light is really bright and colour looks really nice too, these pics don’t do it justice… ![http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/6008/hid3pl7.jpg](http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/6008/hid3pl7.jpg) ![http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/3833/hid4sk0.jpg](http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/3833/hid4sk0.jpg) ![http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/485/hid1gu4.jpg](http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/485/hid1gu4.jpg) :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted::twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted::twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted::twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted: ---

i’ll snap some more pics tonight against a wall, and some of the install under the hood. These are not the MTEC kit like the GB because I purchased these before I started that, but still pretty decent. I had to do some cutting but just using a 1" holesaw in the cap. Then to make sure its sealed good I gobbed on some silicone. Wiring I had to do a bit of cutting but taped everything up nice and neat after. Just have to secure down the ballasts tonight and bamn its done. ---

I think 10 000k is more of a purple, so you pretty much have a choice between more of a blue shade, white, or purple. 8000k is more white than blue and looks really nice I think. These pics look too blue because of the white balance. ---

you need to calibrate your monitor. I did. 🙂 it’s COMPLETELY white. 0 red, 0 green and 0 blue taken from anywhere in the headlights… i’m not saying it’s 100% white, beacuse the camera isn’t 100% accurate, but its exactly white in that photo according to photoshop. proof: the top box is a square cut out of the headlight, the bottom is a white square according to photoshop - notice they’re identical? 🙂 ![http://jammin.jshost.ca/headlightwhite.jpg](http://jammin.jshost.ca/headlightwhite.jpg) ---

Do you still have your calibration tool? Can I borrow it? I’ve been wanting to calibrate my LCD for a long time now, but I didn’t want to spend the $ lol ---
