So you want the foglight color 3000Ks on your lowbeams - if I'm understanding this correctly.. In any case let me know, I think I've got this color.

Wow, I didn't think anyone would want the 3000K for the low beam. I was thinking about doing this for the Fogs. I currently have 6000K on both the low and fog that I got from Carlab. The only problem I have with the current halogen headlamps is this crazy looking arc that you see at night on the road. I never got that resolved from Carlab.

Yeah - your case is quite anomalous :\. I think you're the only one to ever get that arcing problem. Anything I can do to help? (Been a long time - guess Darwin's a bit busy).

"Brother", I am telling you the truth. I took pictures and tried adjusting the headlight height and stuff but I still get the McDonalds Arc at night. Its like the headlight housing is reflecting this Arc form. I guess you can't help but I would like to see someone else from your shop with the Kit installed WITHOUT these problems. I really believe anyone with clear 05 housing with the HID has this issue.

Other than that, the KIT works. I wish the Ballasts where thinner! They were such a ***** to put inside the engine compartment.
