Default Thanks JW!
(and no I don't mean Johnnie Walker)

I ordered a set of HID projectors from JW a few weeks ago. I had nothing else to do today so I decided to put them on. It took me about 6hrs because this was the 1st time I've done this; usually I practice installs on WKMCD's car.

Anyway, I had 1 hick-up with a loose wire, but it was a simple fix and I got everything installed and working. I went with the 4300k setup and the crisp white light is GREAT! Now to decide whether or not to go with HID highs and fogs.

JW for an awesome product.

And yes, you HAVE to at least go with HID fogs to even out the light. I did 6000K's in the lows and fogs. Love it!

I have been exchanging IMs with Jhonathan and I think I am going with the 4300k fogs as well. I have been running PIAA 1100x for the past 6 years so I have to find some stock housings 1st. I probably won't get around to ordering them until May or so.

Strangely, I feel like you're cheating on me....

I did HID's and now my PIAA's look yellow.

I just looked at my PIAAs and they are yellow now. I will be moving up to HID fogs in the next few months.

Hmmmm ... not happy with how the headlight surrounds look. I think I'll be painting them in the next few weeks.
