Also keep in mind that the lights have a natural ``````\........... beam pattern (the opposite of what would be desirable with LHD) because they are intended to be used on a RHD car.

7500K HID?!?! Alex, Alex, Alex...now i know why Chris calls you rice boy. I suggest you take that kit, take it out of the car, and run it over numerous times with your car until you're positive it's broken, than buy yourself a REALY HID kit. when you reach temps of 7500K, it is NO brighter than a silverstar kit buddy. and i'm not even exaggerating. it puts out almost the same lumens. TOSS THAT KIT.

I was wondering when more people would get it...

Personally, I'm surprised that it didn't come already adjusted, you know like the rest of the car... it came like that.. :shrugs:

Poor Alex has to deal with sooo much sh*t, well, let me rephrase, he sets himself up to deal with it

Anyways, it looks good man,
