xenon headlights?
Red headlights are illegal, yeah they would probably look good on ur car but dont be surprised if u get pulled over right away.
they will also decrease your visibility.

I have 6K H1 HID kit on my lude, but its not red, its more like super white with a hint of blue. It actually looks good and illuminates a little better than stock. One thing u should do when u install it is bent the clips that hold the bulb in towards the center of the hole so that the H1 xenon bulb holds firmly.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING U SHOULD DO IS AIM UR LIGHTS A LITTLE LOWER THAN STOCK SO THAT OTHER CARS DON'T DRIVE HEAD ONTO U!!!!

other than the precautions, it looks pretty good from inside and out. I've had mine on for 3 months, got it from ebay for $170 shipped, so I'm pretty happy.

well the seller I got it from was "SELL2ALL" I don't think they sell it anymore. I was very excited when I won the auction for $150 plus $18 shipping. It looks exactly like this, it said 8000K, but looks exactly like 6000K http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...36476


Here are some pics, I still working on a DIY thread for this

Is this a HID kit that is red, bulbs, ballasts, and ignitors? Or are they halagen lights that say they are xenon? Personally I wouldn't install them because you won't see ****.. Are you going for that military flashlight look?? Or do you have a show car or something.

if they are 6000k temp, their color will NOT be red.

every color has a tempurature, and 6000 kelvin temp is around pure white.

maybe they are a 6000k bulb with a red coating...

Is this a pic of both lights installed or one HID and one stock? The driver-side looks yellow? maybe that's why they were so cheap on ebay? Mine HID's don't look like that.
