Default Am I Rice If...

I do this...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/06-08...Q5fAccessories

And even if I don't, I want to go with either a 6000K or 8000K HID Kit. Any suggestions?

there's really no true definition of "rice." If you like them, get them.

why does it matter if its rice or not. if you like it, why not buy it? you are the one making the payments on it right? so the car should be something that pleases you, not us.

Well, I guess I haven't posted anything of this nature for a while, because it used to be a flame fest. Anyway, go with the 6000K instead of 8000K? This gives the crystal white color correct?

Should I get the HID from Corsport or any other company?

ebay projectors arent made for hid's. theres reasons why retrofits are done with certain projectors.

you'll end up with a shittier output than the stock headlight. and they look like poo anyway.

If you have to ask something usually your doubting yourself. In other words those headlights are gay.

So the HID wouldn't jive with the aftermarket lights? HID first, so I guess stock. I just like black housing lights...
