Thanks Royce! I remember seeing them before. They look great! But the only thing is that I'm not sure how I'll like em when they're off. I don't really want that blue reflection. I have the reflection already in my sidemarkers from the polarGs which I'm gonna swap out to LEDs eventually. HIDs would solve the problem, but comparing the cost to ease/pain in the *** ratio, Diamond visions would be a lot better.......

And frank, "6000k temp lumen output is only slightly above your stock 4300k bulb, so changing them is really only for the color."

You mean below right....?

and here is a side by side shot for comparison, and "ERROR FREE" or full refund!


Any time. I already recommended you in another thread a few days ago to regarding your GPthunders. Hope business is a-booming!

Welcome. Well to be honest there isn't much reflection of the bulbs. However you would notice that the bulbs are tinted though. If that is what keeps you from holding back then you can try the ones from PIAA. There is this model which uses a mirror coating or something similar to get rid of that effect. However they only have it in 4100k temp lumen if I haven't mistaken.

The only reason keeping me back from HID kits is the installation (drilling etc) and the dark spots. If both these problems can be solved I don't mind switching them up.

i just put the HID kit in my 204. no dark spots. drilling the holes on the cover was easy too. rain today and no condensation so i'm happy with the result.
