you have the ***** to bump your system near your parking spot? i stop bumping a few blocks before i park, not that i care that my system gets stolen, but that i dont have the money to pay for repairs to the car being broken into lol.

Yeah on occasion I forget to turn my system down. My car is almost hidden in the sea of **** with their rims and useless appearance mods. And there are rent-a-cops always patrolling the parking lots for cars to tow, but some cars do get busted into especially in the summer. I'm going to have to be good for the next 6 weeks...

Aren't 8000k hid's a useless appearance mod since after 5000k their light output begins to decrease?

I want 4500k or 5000k when these bulbs go, I think they are getting dimmer already. I only replaced them with 8000k as I thought I had too. With full scale HIDs the difference in color is because the gas is different. Like high pressure sodium are around 2500k while metal halides are around 6000k. Both bulbs are different and the ballast themselves are different. So somehow they are able to change the color using the same gas/voltages.
