Nice, does he have HIDs?
His black housing doesn't shine all over the place right? (well somewhat)

ya he has 8000k HIDs and the light is somewhat more restricted than the clear OEM housings. You won't regret them man

i see....
what HIDs should I get?
I know I want to get DDMTuning cuz of the lifetime warranty (any other brand you recommend or suggests)
I'm debating 35w or 55w & the color temperature 6k or 8k (I would just get 10k, but I don't want to see blue lights in my rear view mirror)

Thanks

You got the first part right. Get DDM Tuning. They're reliable and priced extremely nice. The debate between 35w and 55w is the following: When one gets a 55w the car uses more juice starting up and giving power to the lights obviously.

Another thing would be that if one gets a 35k 8000k the color of the light would be blue, but if one were to get a 55w 8000k the color would resemble a 35w 6000k which would be a white light with a blue hue. Basically, since the wattage is higher the colors will be brighter.Personally I don't think 55w is necessary ESPECIALLY in stock headlights. The glare will be HORRIBLE.

I have the 6000k 35w DDM kit and I have no complaints. The debate between 6000k and 8000k will always be looks over practicality. The higher the kelvin the less the light output which in regard to light output it would obviously be 6000k > 8000k. 6000k is perfect IMO because it's 3x brighter than stock halogen bulbs but has a slight blue tint for that extra look ya kno?

Feel free to ask any other questions man. I'm here to help.

Of course, with projectors there will be a huge difference in kelvins.
Looks very nice on my friend's STI & S2K with 8000k.
So will there by any difference in 35w 8000k? I like a lot of blue instead of slight blue.
I might as well get 35w 8000k

Oh yea, since I'm getting a new headlights housing
I might as well replace my side marker & parking light bulbs to LEDs...what do you think
