Smile HID Powerhouse 8000K HID installed on my FR-S

Not as high quality as I thought. The connectors are kinda cheap, but overall good.

Far too blue to be useful.

I meant the connectors between ballasts and bulbs and power cable are cheap

It's because 8000K is blue. Not white.

Hmmm look at your car. Then at the headlights. Still think they are white?

8000K... not sure about that color.

I wonder what other components they put in their ballast, so expensive compared to other brands. I run DDM 55w 5000k and it's just plain white and bright.
