Looks good you can tell the difference between the 6000k and 4300k. BMW's seem brighter. Which HID kit did you install? Phillips 4300K?

You see the difference between a OEM HID system and an aftermarket one? Look at the beam pattern--the sharp cutoff line in the Bimmer keeps the the stray light to a minimum. Becareful not to blind oncoming cars.

The cutoff line is actually pretty sharp, but yes there is stray light that could possibly get into other drivers eyes, but not to the point of distracting a driver anymore than any other stock HID equipped car IMHO. The ballast and bulb adapter are IDENTICAL between the ITR and 525. probably could swap them easily if i wanted to...

PS: five bonus point to the person who names the car in the garage on the ITR side.

I just got my 4300k HIDs from Trevor at visualdynamics (the GB currently going on in the BB forum), and I love em. They look just like Rguy's, obviously as it is the same kit. Sure OEM car's HIDs so make better use of all the lighting capability and therefore are a bit brighter and have a more evenly spread out blanket of light on the road, but this retrofit for our tegs is still soooo much better over stock lights. I'm loving mine so far, enjoy.
