well our stock light temp is 4300k so I see they sell a 5k, 6k, 8k to upgrade to 5k would be pointless anything higher than 8k or so I think is illegal. so the 6 or 8 in diamond white cause the blue and violent tints are also illegaland I'm not sure how these lights work or if the name is reliable though.

5k is not pointless since it eliminates ALL yellow spectrum as opposed to the 4300 at the same time delivering a pure white/light blue light as opposed to 6000k and above which range from blue to purple. Also as you climb higher in temp you lose brightness. I would stay away from any no name brand lights. I have gone through a lot of them and they are not worth it. They do not last a long time and lose brightness faster then good brands.

Order phillips D2S 5000K from ebay. They are 98 new and are amazing. I assume you have stock xenons.
Here is the link of the bulbs that I got when my OEMs burned out.

I believe they are H7. I'm not 100% sure though. If you go to the Sylvania website you can input your car make and model and it will tell you every single bulb type possible in your car. So check that out before ordering.

the headlights are D2S/D2R while the foglights are H7; however i knew that people could mod the H7 HID works with D2S base somehow you will need to dremel the plastic piece a little to fit in.

Order D2S (its a type of bulb) and you will have no problems.

Hey mattr7786, how did you install your DVD unit. Did you custom fabricate a piece that fits in place of the radio? What did you use to make it look like the surrounding plastic pieces? I would have sent you a PM but your profile was off.

well right now i cant find the picture i had taken of it but no i did not fabricate anything i bought a dash mounting kit for the dvd unit ..it took me almost a month to find it and it was 50 bucks i actually found a place a couple towns away from me that could order it for me ..it is hard to find if you have the symphony radio in now..but a couple of my friends have went to tweeter here in my town and had one custom made out of black fiberglass that looks pretty nice but the downfall is that it is not held in by anything good so if you punch the gas then you got a radio in your lap which i refused to do cause i like hitting the gas...i will find the pictures and post them up for you but it is the nicest one IMO that yuou can buy cause its got the pocket to put stuff under the unit...good luck..
