Well Good for you my friend . But I for one will miss the old way of ordering them thru PM's and hoping they will make it thru customs and such. Kinda made them feel more exclusive .

That's always been my least favorite part.

Looking great and thanks for the kudos!

The different bulb options are color temps. 6000K is very white (almost blue). The lower the number from 6000K the more yellow the light will be. The other option will be the color of the angel eye lights.

Are angel eyes only visible when operating as running lights? If I never drive in that mode could I go with red or would they be visible ticket getters even with headlights on?

Sorry. I scrolled back a bunch of pages and found my answer. Red it is!

The red AEs aren't that super red when the main HID is turned on, barely see them. When used standalone on the parking light however, well, they are red. Very very red

Scary stuff in fact... evil lookin, scares young kids and all
