Decided to switch up my HID, city and bumper LEDs

Ok so today I felt like changing up my HID setup. Frankly I was tired of the blueness of my 8k's. Since I used to wholesale HID's I just happen to have some 6k in 9006 and h7 so I decided to swap them. After I swapped one side to 6k I realized that now my white city light and bumper light doesnt match the 6k. So I searched and found that my best option is going to be amber until
I can find some that will match perfectly.

Looks great, I kind of dig the amber look of the city more than white. I guess it goes better with the side markers.

Depends on the day...
Yep, lights are nice but what rims are those?

Edit: I'm sorry, I didn't read the list of mods at the bottom of the post. My bad. They are very nice rims!

Ok guys I uploaded a couple of pics while I was on my break at work. My car is parked in a parking garage so it's kind of dark to get some decent pics to see what color the amber LEDs put out in the dark. Enjoy:

Thanks silverC, I know as soon as I switched to those 6k's I knew they had to go. If it is too difficult to find a pair that match I'm just gonna stick with the ambers.

The amber looks pretty good, and you have the euro strip with the lamp on that matches it. That strip is very difficult to come by down here, so if I install amber city lights on their own they will look kinda out of place .. Hmm ..
