I have a few questions about the retrofit.
Do the xenon lights last that much longer than the silvania brightlast? I like them because they offer a bit more brightness over stock and help with visibility but I am lucky if I can get any more than a year outta them and they don't come cheap, I've driven some loaner tl's in the past and loved the visibility up front (new ones have tiny rear window thou).

Can you get regular white xenon light bulbs? I am trying to stay away from using blue lights since they call unwanted attention from the authorities, they also annoy and blind people, also whats the legality into having these and the chances of getting pulled over?

I see v-tech might have removed the coating that makes the fog lights yellow, would keeping them yellow make an odd color when combine with the xenon? are they even better without the yellow filter?

dude it's HID bulbs it will last a loooong time and it will out shine any regular halogen ( unless you're going into the 12k range lol). But be careful you just can't put HID into a regular headlight, you'll glare other drivers!
What I have done is that I retrofitted and put 4300k into it, I'm pretty sure is legal for my state because it has been a two years now and I don't get any ticket! If you want to retrofit, i think you need to check with your state law because I know some states is illegal to modify the headlight!
