I got some ebay kit, no name brand 8000k , they are ricey blue when you look at them but the out is bluish when you are driving, its kinda strange how they work when I turn them on they operate like flouresent lights, started dull and gets brighter by time. if it lasts when its time to change the bulbs I will try 6000k

Also, the HID's do give stupid, annoying glare to oncoming drivers. Line up against a wall, you'll see the glare.
Maybe it's not so much with the projectors you have. But it is annoying as ---- when the HID's are on a stock honda headlight housing. The light just reflects all over.

Re: ebay hid kits
mine looks 100% better in person compared to in the pic I posted.
I am tired of taking pics and hosting them, too much work, compared to what I had before the visability is 50% better, I can see a lot better, and when I say no glare I mean it, I like the way they look, they arent as good as a bmw or audi lights but they are better than any civics lights.

Re: ebay hid kits
Here's my Lexus. My generation has the 6 projectors on the front, high / low and fog projectors. If you're going to use halogen projectors for HID, please modify them to give a correct cutoff because they WILL glare. Do this by creating your own cutoff shield and/or shimming the lens out to refocis the bulb.
These are very old pics on a very old digicam (0.3mp ftw!), before my 6000K phillips Ultinon colorshifted. Yeah mother *******... That's the big pimpin ---- HID blulbs and ballasts there. No korean bullshit!
Playing with the cutoff shield to increase foreground light, no cutoff modification yet
halogen stock VS modified VS HID,:
After cutoff modification (lost the straight line pics year back sry.)
9005 Silverstar highbeams + HID's in the LOS of the bulbs, zoomed in
9005 Silverstar highbeams + HID's above the LOS of the bulbs, zoomed in ZERO GLARE *******
9005 Silverstar highbeams + HID's in the LOS of the bulbs
9005 Silverstar highbeams + HID's above the LOS of the bulbs ZERO GLARE *******
Just HID's with UV radiation turned on for funzies (i took pics of mine with UV radiation on every night to track when the colorshift was mostly finished. Driving 45min a night, 5 nights a week it took 4 nights)
Fog light zoomed in
Fogs+HID, above the LOS
Fogs=HID in the LOS
So do your homework to negate the glare
