Plus: Awesome deep blue color, makes the white and yellow street lines pop along with the signs, kind of like a black light.
Cons: Less usuable output than stock, a bit dim in the rain.
I got them from xtralights.com for $199

the strongest output will be from your stock bulbs or the Phillips 85122+ D2S bulbs. I believe they are 5000k. But other than stock and the 85122+ bulbs, the higher you go, the more color you will get but the less usable light you will have.

This will help with HID questions:
Kelvins (K): The higher the kelvin rating the more exotic your light output will be. The higher the kelvins the less lumens are produced.
Lumens: Usable light (notice not visible), Lumens light up the road in front of you, the LOWER the kelvin rating the more lumens are produced.
Examples:
10000K: Violet purple color, poor visibility compared to stock and even 8000K.
8000K: Dark blue color, poor visibility compared to stock on wet roads.
6000K: Light blue/hyper white color, visibility close to stock.
4600K: White, stock lighting on most HID equipped vehicles (give or take 300K in any direction depending on make/model)
3000K: Yellow like fog lights almost. According to the above model should have the most usable light, however; I have never had 3000K HIDs.
**Each maker of HID bulbs have a slightly different color per Kelvin rating, some may be more or less exotic in color but same rating. The above description is a generality.
