anyone tried them yet? mine are in the mail.....can't wait.

 

where'd you get them from and how much? what are they supposed to look like?

 

autolites.net............i don't know yet, still in the mail.........

 

8000k??? I didn't know they made those! Aren't you worried they'll melt the front of your car???

 

They're gonna be VERY VERY blue.

 

blue enough to get busted by the narco-police? i believe the 8000k and the 6000k bulbs use the same ballast. so i could always change the bulb if needed.....

 

Let us know how the lights turn out, i was thinking of getting the 6000 but if the 8000 makes a big difference i think i might get the eight. How much did you pick the 8000 Hid set for?

 

I guess it depends where you live. Here in NYC alot of people have HIDs so cops will probably think its stock. I never got pulled over for mine. They're VERY purple, not blue.

 

i didn't actually order the 8000k's i ordered the 6000k's there was some kind of mixup at the suppliers so the up-graded my order free of charge.....i believe the 8000k is something like $650..........i'll post some pics when i get the system up and running............aloha..........................

 

I have a 96 3.2 TL, I would need the H4 kit correct?

 

yup

 

lets hope its not too noticeable for the cops to mess with you...you dont have a legal foot to stand on if you get pulled over by them since the 8000K are NOT DOT-certified

 

One thing that worries me about HIDs is that someone told me if you cause an accident because you blinded someone you can be held liable.

 

i think i would come down to the DOT certified issue...if the 6000K aren't, then i could see where you could be held liable.

 

according to autolites.net, no aftermarket HID lighting is DOT approved............if it gets too blinding, i can always adjust the angle of the light pod.............aloha.........

 

Arent Sylvanias HIDs DOT approved?

 

thats what i thought too

 

i guess if the vehicle was not originally equiped w/ HID. also many of our HID-type bulbs, altezza-type tail lamps, exhaust, steering wheels (momo, grant, GT....ect) unless the product clearly states DOT approved. not sure about the inspire tails though if it is approved for US it should state DOT.....it's all part of the fun in tuning cars:yack:
