I agree with AMG Adon - its been years on this thread for looking for the best parking lamps but AZN optics the best and NO errors. just careful installing them and they dont fall into the lamp lol lol.

HID extra for D1S 6000K ftw

As per request here are the pics of the tips. As you can see they aren't perfectly fit. This is because the tips are dual so they come with a predetermined size! I plan on getting either amg tips or 4 single tips and getting them to welded to fit this unusually wide gap on this diffuser.

Yeah i believe the site was chromecarletters.com or something like that. They have an option for matte and "gun black"(gloss black). I ordered the matte black and saw that they had just been plastidipped. The gun blacks,however, have held up quite well.

Honestly - ive had the 6000K for the longest time for azn optics (even had to special order them, just edit comment in checkout) but 6000K is a little bit TOO blue compared to my 6000K D1s. not sure if its because of the housing or not but its just not a match.

I want to go for 5000K now ... I bet they are brighter as well.
