First of all Nice Car

looks great
With your colour scheme I think a set of black angel eyes would suit it really because the black & yellow theme works really well.
I reckon if you decide to keep the standard headlights then go maybe go for white HID's rather than blue.
Have the wheels been photoshop'd on that bottom pic?

Hey dude, the car looks awesome, lovin the yellow and black colour scheme, especially the alloys.
I have 6000K HID's in mine and i think it looks pretty good. Just a bit of a blue tinge to them, i think goin too blue looks a bit tacky and can tend to draw a bit more attention form the police. You can check mine out on page 2 of my progress thread here.

These are the ones i bought. I ended up buyin 3 sets from him for a few of my mates. Great ebayer and really fast delivery, no hastle at all from the HID's and they are a bit cheaper them the ones you are looking at above. Just tell them when you buy what bulb and what colour you want.

I'm by no means an expert but as I understand it, the 50W sets are brighter but they are used more in the full beams to make the use of the extra light. They also consume more power so I imagine they would be harder on your battery and alternator.

50W are 50% brighter again and should only be used for main beams, as they create alot of glare on dipped

Looking very nice dude, I like the tinted fogs too they really suit it.
You just need to give the HID's a proper test now and take it out for a spin at night.
Should make a big improvement for night driving or if your just cruising through town putting out the vibe

lol
