    huh? 10k is dimmer than 8k. actually 10k (2000-2200 lumens) is dimmer than halogen (ranges from 1500-2300 lumens) rofl...

    no offense, but speakin the truth:
    -1 for ricey looks > safety.

    the only opinion i mentioned was that it was ricey. the rest of what i said are simply facts. and here's more facts,
    you think you see great because the eye notices the color blue better than white, but what you SEE WITH IT is a different story.
    especially with PNW weather, you should also know that blue reflects off of water more, so while you see the rain better, you don't see what's important, the road. interesting how it works huh.

    and it's not about me telling you what to put in your car, but this is a forum, we're here to educate each other.

    that was my reason for changing to 6000K HID's in my previous car. If I buy new HID's for the current cars it will be 6000K again. You definately see more with it than with 8000K.

    But HID is thumbs up anyhow :)

    This may be kinda late, but how did you work the new shifter on the automatic? Ive been thinking about doing the same thing to mine shortening the actual shifter so its not constantly in the way.

    heres the thing about the auto stick....your stuck with it unless you can find a shorter stick from another model.....the way that it goes on the shifter is weird....you can not use the spring loaded gear selector but then youll run into "whoops i just put it in reverse"...

    hit the local yard if you can and strip one down.....its easy, i had to cut the overdrive wires and i hid the switch under the center console, i leave it on all the time anyways....you can always run it somewhere else too. i had to dremel alot of material away to get the new shifter to slid "pounded on is another way to look at it" on. it now wont come off and im thinking of doing another one.


    the stick is long anyways due to the gear selector spring, you must use it for safety wise and you'd be stupid not to as thats a good way to lose a tranny real quick.

    you can pm me your number or something and we can talk a little more in detail about it.....i shouldve done a write up or something as it does look really nice.
