Andrew, I'm not highly familiar with color temp as it relates to HID bulbs. What temp do you recommend for someone wanting the brightest white they can get without dipping into the blue color spectrum? Thanks.

A quick google image search seems to favor the 5000k bulb but I thought I'd ask your opinion.

5000K is by far the most popular and is fluorescent white in color. I prefer 5K as well.

Ugh I love the idea but haven't seen a black housing on a FR-S yet.

Anyone have a pic of a blue or grey car with the blacked out look?

This coupon cannot be combined with any other discounts.
the kit looks awesome and the discount is super nice.

is it possible to set a date for which this discount will end please? or like a counter for the amount of kits will be sold with discount? i'm a newbie and i hope to wait for a member to install and post a diy guide before i pull the trigger.
