Default Re: Morimoto HID Kit Install & Review Thread. Pics and Lots of Reading!

The light output is really that much better and noticeably whiter ( I went with 5000k color output; almost pure white). If you're gonna pay for this kit, better off spending the extra $20 for the XB35 bulb option. I have the older 3fives, before they released the XB35s, and I do notice the shadow from the bar running along the bulb. Apparently the XB35s reverse the position of the bar which corrects the shadow effect. Plus the XB35s are said to be a step up on the older 3Fives (cooler and brighter). And make sure you select the canbus H7 under the harness type. And don't bother with the 5Fives. Not much more light output and they get extremely hot and could possibly damage the lens.

Thanks ! Awesome. I'd rather spent 170$ and get some quality products :-)
