They are easy as to install, just a bit of modification to the stock dust covers, i did mine yesterday. I have still yet to see how they go at night driving, but damn 6000k is bright.

more important question - are 6000k street legal? i wanna buy hid kit too after respray and want brightest bluest kit thats still legal

nothing over 4300k is technically legal.

5000-6000k with well hidden ballasts however isnt going to raise many eyebrows.

and if your headlights are what youre worrying about in regards to legality... well...

the bluest is like 8000k but they are REALLY detectable, i believe there is higher but why? 6000k is crystal diamond, so very white with a slight tinge of blue but they are also detectable....actually any light/globe that isnt stock issue is detectable. Unless of course that model car came out with HID (xenon) lights as a option...which i don't think mine did.

Dont take the above as gospel, search in the HID Group buy threads.

you wouldnt want to go higher than 6000k anyways. they get less bright as you go up above that.

most imported cars with hid's are converted to halogen during compliance.

Well hidden, oh noes mine are in plain sight as soon as you open the bonnet. Left side is right next to the pod filter pretty much, right side is right behind the headlight unit and washer bottle - couldn't find anywhere else good to mount it.

ive got my drivers side ballast tucked up in the corner behind the head light and in front of the washer bottle. passenger ballast will be insulated and tucked up behind the headlight under the airbox.

i can sort of picture the scene, family sitting down for their evening movie, probably wall-e or something just as nauseatingly cute, the kids are sitting close to the tv, both boys, probably like 10 or something, parents sitting on the couch, remote on the other end of the couch, and the bam! monsters of cock 14.

awesome night.

dave, do you know how to install them?

ive got i think 10000k for the sil and i need to get them in sometime if your keen?

can pay in booze :D

yeah mate, too easy. can do it for you this weekend if you want?

my passenger side is mounted inside my pod box and the drivers side is zip tied to the back of the reo bar. They can't be seen without pulling heaps of stuff apart.

    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.
