thanks for posting that pic .....I didn't think about the color of the car, that silver looks lame with the amber, my car is dark blue and would probably look better. but maybe dude is right and it would look like a chevy....everybody here complains about not being able to match the HID white headlights so I was thinking what else I could do...so far I haven't heard anyone here with a bulb they are happy with and I don't want to do blue.....thanks guys...ill keep thinking. pass on the chevy look..(lol)

when mind wanders, i've tried to imagine how it would look with gold or light
copper hue and put it on my list to tint my H5W bulb when I get around to
finding the right paint.
