    if you are going to get green hids get ready to get pulled over by police they are to bright to use as regular headlights even 8k, its rare depends on your headlights, will get you pulled over. but as they said. don't go with green ones they actually do look horrible. and with any hid no matter the k you will loose visibility in the rain. same as any other light you put on your car. hids just look better and are good on clear nights.

    WRONG. HIDs improve visibility as long as you dont go with some crazy color or temp. 6k and below is what you want to run. Why the hell would manufacturers install these things if they made vision worse. Please get your facts straight before acting like you know what you are talking about and sending someone in the wrong direction. Just because your experience with junk ass blue HIDs was bad does not mean all HIDs are bad.

    lol

    oneSLOWex beat me to it.

    crazy colors do limit visibility in the rain and fog like i mentioned how my light pink 1s do. but regular colors help you see better or else why would they come factory in BMWs, newer hondas/acuras, etc. sorry could help myself
