Default HID ?

I recently bought the smoked headlight covers for my 2000 gt and it was so hard to see at night. so i bought some sylvania bulbs for like 60 bucks. well they were a little brighter but not enough so i just returned them... im about to buy the HID kit off of www.vvme.comand im wondering if the 6000k or 8000k kit would be bright enough. id like that darker blue look but im afraid it wont be bright enough...

anyone know if vvme.com is reputable?

which kit i should get with the head light covers?


thanks

The 8000k will give you a more blueish color. I have an 8000k kit and love it. The 6000k kit will be a little brighter but probably not enough to make a difference.

As for vvme, there are plenty of people here who have ordered from them with no problems.

so u think that the 8000k will be bright enough to go through the smoked covers ???

do you think that it will look like normal lights (stock)as if there was no covers on it but more blueish ??
or do you think it' be a little brighter or dimmer?

i just want the lights to look blueish and to be as bright or brighter than the stock bulbs with the covers on

You can't have both, the covers are not meant to be driven with at night.

you may stil be able to see through with HID's the lower the number the brighter it is 6K is brighter than 8K, and yes get HID fogs as wellthey will help out with peripheral vision

According to stangmods.com thyre HID car has headlight tint and its fine. Go check out that page theres a pic of it with the lights on

A friend of mine put vvme on his sierra the other day and it seems to be really good quality. I wish i would have saved a little money on those instead of stangmods. Although my fogs are brighter than my heads even though their from the same place. I have 6000
