They are 8000k 55W the good thing is they have lifetime warranty and only cost me $93, from DDMtuning.com trust me its worth it, and when you make the transaction make sure you choose the 55w kit its much brighter plus lifetime warranty so its a win win situation :D

Re: My New HID's
Since opinion was asked for... I think its retarded.
Blue is the worst color for instrument lighting. The best colors are those that do not hurt night vision as much when transitioning from looking at a lit display to outside of the car. Red and amber fit this bill. Similar to why a submarine runs red light on the bridge when the periscope is up.
HID kits in halogen projectors = overpowered foreground and reduced ability to see past the headlamps.
For what its worth, I tried the blue dash once, and after 3 days replaced the pretty blue with a nice, easy on the eyes, amber, and my eyes have thanked me ever since.

Re: My New HID's
its alright tunernoob the cluster lights really aren't that bright they are a dark blue so they really don't light up as good as the white light but its your opinion and I respect that and as for the headlights I can see past them fine, nothing is wrong with it but again that is your opinion no big...

Although... I have an integra too... with 6000k HID. The visibility is like four times that of halogen and the cut-off is better than a regular PnP kit in a halogen headlamp. Could be better... but I think it does the job just fine since one of my headlight bulbs went out last year.
Re: My New HID's
What is recommended now to increase night visibility. I'm not looking for to be as bright as the OP's, or a corny purple/blue color, maybe somewhere bewteen 4100-4300? What is the difference bewteen HID and halogen?

Re: My New HID's
Define brighter? lol.
55w Plug and Play; and I tweaked the pictures so that they aren't overexposed like how most people leave their shots. The beam is a bit narrow, but what do you expect? They're stock projectors from '94.
However, glare isn't a factor. TL's, S2K's, all BMW's and other OEM HID projector-fitted cars all give out a bright *** light that you can't help but notice on the road, and truthfully they're blinding if you stare at them, so you don't, right? So do the same with integra projectors. It's the EJ's, EK's, DC5's that blind the **** out of you whether you're trying to look or not.
We all know a retrofit is the ideal, but there's nothing wrong with stock projectors. Sure, the beam spread could be better, but as long as the driver is happy, and you're not being blinded by a sloppy reflector assemblies output, then move on and tell someone else how to spend their money.
