Gotcha. Alright, I may play with 'em shortly, but need to wait 'til my other bulbs shows up.

Latest Update: This is more of a review I guess.

3 cons with the setup so far:

(1): At this point I do NOT recommend getting any HID kit higher than 5000 Kelvin. With my 5000K kit I am barely able to deal with it. I really regret the purchase and I am debating selling it for a 4300K (factory color) kit.

(2): The headlight "buckets" that are painted glossy black are reflecting additional light up above the headlight cut-off. This has not caused anyone to flash me, and it's not obnoxious amounts of stray light (like a halogen reflector housing), but it's something I need to fix ASAP. I am very particular to things like this. Safety is the most important factor to me.

(3): The mounting setup on the Hella 90 MM lights is somewhat of a pain in the rear. I highly recommend making 100% sure that you design a stencil piece of paper or cardboard with the holes in it for the mounts. This way you will know exactly where to drill. If you are even slightly off, it's going to complicate the installation ten fold. Just take your time!!! I did have to do some cutting with a Dremel to allow fitment of the bulbs (Halogen and HID alike). You need to cut out some of the bottom of the square holes to allow the bulb to stick out of the rear of the housing. You'll see what I mean when/if you do this.

i think it's pretty cool i just think the bulbs are a little too small. thought maybe some halos around the middle ones would look kinda cool. photoshop didn't turn out too well though but just for an idea-

It's a possibility. I am still in the midst of designing a bracket to take care of "free space", but progress is extremely snail like at this point in time.
