I got mine at West coast BUT they are the pricey ones...........

They're gorgeous but over priced. The ones the previous posters are talking about are a great value for basically the same look!

Here is what 5000k looks like.





5000k puts out 3200LM and 6000k puts out 2800LM

The 5000k has the most light output and is pure white. The HID's on expensive cars are in the 4000-4300 range.

I only use the 3000k yellows in the winter. Here in Northern California we get dense fog at times. The 3000k's work a lot better in the fog and in the rain.

Hey Steve, I'm still debating on which HID headlights I'm gonna go with. One like yours or ACA's.
Gotta say yours is . But it's gotta wait because I want to get a Springfield Armory XD 40 first!
Maybe when Obama gives us our first government checks then I'll get it!

The tower II's are 9 leds. The tower III's are 24 leds

I put the big switchbacks in mine too.

Rather than the 20 led switchbacks I got the 48 leds
