At what temp do the Xenon HID's emit? Is it a true white? I detest any tinge of blue in a car I am driving or approaching. When driving a car with a blue-tinted headlight, it seems almost mono-chromatic to me, like an old computer monitor. It also seems to make yellow and orange highway signs (reflective type) less noticable.

These work for me.
Thanks for your input.

Just get a 5000k bulb...true white. As for installing aftermarket accessories...this is as much aftermarket as the silverstar bulbs being that the HID's are plug and play. The only thing extra you have to do is secure the balasts down to the fenders with the (factory installed) studs.

I have 3 HID kits on order for my car ($71.95/kit) one for low beam, one for high beam and one for fog lights. You can never be too safe. It's also the reason I use rain-x religiously and change my wiper blades every 3mo with new silicone ones...you can never see to clearly. (just reminded myself to pop in a new set of contacts in the morning)

$71.95 from where? And let me know if they set off your lights out indicator when you install them.

Link to the thread on this forum discussing the kits

Link to the HID kits

Some of the original purchasers of the kits had problems with the lights out indicator...however the manufacturer has resolved that issue and the new kits work flawlessly. I am looking forward to driving home at night with 3x Xenon HID kits lighting the path.

Do you know of a method of keeping the fog lights on when the high beams are on at the same time?

If so please share with the group!

I know. On most cars it's just a matter of jumping a couple of wires........but I have a sneaky feeling it might be a little more complicated on the Crossfire.

I always did hate the fog lamps going out when the high beams were on....you lose all the "immediately in front of the car" lighting!
