GE owns all the machines that make HID bulbs and they sub them out to comapnies or sell the technology to other companies so even the "aftermarket" bubls people get or the osram or the philips are ALL GE.....funny shit...thing is the companies that do make them cant make a duplicate bulbs they need their own mixture of salts n things thats y the failure rate on aftermarket is higher yup yup by the way I got the 10000K GE and they are slammin!!!! I wnna go to the 6000K becuz my windshield is tinted and I cant really see with 10Ks too well

Looks good! Any before or after shots, or ones where you only replaced 1 bulb? Do you think that they are worth the money?

I replaced both and they're worth the money..I saved at least 100 bucks for choosing this instead of the Philips Ultinon since they're made by one company..

Did you just replace the bulb or the whole ballast and bulb. Im thinking about changing the color on my hids but not sure. if i have to swap out the ballast as well or to use the new ballast.

Thanks,
Jonathan

6000 is supposed to be all white with hints of blue. I would like to see some before and after pics to compare them.

Im contended on the light output of 6000k however i lost maybe 20/30 percent white..regarding the foglamps i just ordered the Piaa Tera 6000k bulb and i will see whats the output if i dont get satisfied maybe be ill considering an HID fog also..

When you get the Piaa Teras installed can you post up some pics? I want to change out the stock fog bulbs also but dont know what to upgrage to.

I have the fogs as HIDs.... I recommend it....makes a huuuuuuge difference.... only thing is I threw a switch in there because theres something a lil fishy going on with the wiring in the stock harness....the guys from acura said to do it seperately. I had many probs with the stock ballasts because the right one kept blowing out or flickered like crazy.... becuz the first 2 times i wired it directly and the 3rd i ran a relay and switch.. now there are no more problems except the right lens is fogged up.... piece of shit lol
