Mine look even.

Does anyone have a pic of the 20K halos with the stock HID headlights? Do they make the headlight projectors appear yellow-ish?

Thanks.

Yes. The stock headlights look yellow in comparison to the 24k halos.

I have 8000k headlights, and 6000k Angel Eyes, and the headlight projectors (even with the 8000k bulbs) look dim (not yellow) but dim compared to the Angel Eyes.

IMO, the angel eyes look nice during the day, but even then they are too bright - because from a far distance it looks like a blurriness of bright headlights coming your way. Only when you get within 50-100 feet or so does it become clear that those are two rings emitting light!

I dunno i think the rings look very defined. Just the outer is slightly dimmer

That makes sense, since usually the higher Kelvin bulbs produce less light. That’s the reason why I was considering 20K. They might appear a bit dimmer and not as over-powering.

This doesn’t sound good.

Does anyone have anymore pics of the 20Ks?

My experience is the same. They are extremely bright, but definitely defined.

Do you have stock headlight bulbs? How does it looks with the headlights on at night? Thanks.

I do. I don't have pics, but like I said before, with the 24k halos the stock headlights are noticeably yellower. With the 3k yellow halos I have now, the stock headlights look extremely white.

Which color do you have?

slimj281 · 03-21-2009, 10:05 PM

Just installed the kit works fine besides the fact when i start the car it flickers for a sec like strobe lights then it goes away. Also the lights aren't even on. When i do turn on the lights everything works normal. Any suggestions on what could cause the flickering???

HID's shoot 25000volts at the bulb to ignite the gas. Its just what they do.

I don't know what you mean about strobing, but mine look like they give a quick bright flash as they first turn on then mellow out until they warm up a bit.

At least that's how it looks from the drivers seat.

No, strobing is not normal. I know what you mean. Where did you make your ground connection?

slimj281 · 03-24-2009, 06:05 PM
