I'm trying to see your 30k's but, I dont know what pic to look at.
The top one's look like bags on your lights and the botom one looks like 8k's.
I know someone that has 30k's on a range rover,and they look like a dim pink up close.
from far away you can tell it's his truck because there is no one else riding with that color around and it stand out big time from far away.

They are a really dark purple it depends on what manufacturer makes the HIDs some have pink in them and others dont and I dont know how to set my camera to take a good pic of the color

The two first pics I covered my headlights just to show the out put on the fogs and the last two are the head lights 30 k hids

They do have laws , and they are illegal

also the light out put is the brightest I have ever seen



















NOT, it sucks, but they were $10 or $20 and I was wondering what they looked like!!!

Im pretty sure they are 35w, and he even said the output sucks.

55w kits are great, if you have a reflector that can handle it. Please dont put them in halogen housings. The glare from 35w kits is bad enough, toss the 55w ballast in there and it becomes unbearable.

fluffy to get some good pictures of the fogs (without the headlights) just pop the hood and disconnect the connecters/wiring to the ballests/headlights, it is like a 10 second job per side if that

IMO its is a bitch to do that, I actually just wired the fogs to a switch so I could take some good pics now but I dont think anyone else is interested

Im interested

Night mode helps, play around with the ISO settings (200 works well for me) and play with the exposure settings until it looks the way you see it in person.

definetly would help if you got a slow shutter speed, from the picture blurring

I dont really know how too set it to ISO 200 but I have an option too that is called ISO 3200 so I put it on that it turned out like this

The only other option is shutter speed
