make sure when you click on it and scroll down the page it says 8000k (iceburg blue)...some of the kits on ebay have a pink tint to them ....make sure when you do your order you type in the box exactly which bulbs you want ...its very easy..if you order on friday youll get it the next following friday....very fast. mine have lasted me 2years so far they were so cheap i bought a backup set ,i have yet to use it

an example how hard it is..imagine your car is outside your garage, you have the hood up and you have a drop light at the back of the garage ...now the light wont reach for you to check out your engine ...now what do you do?...yes you get an extension ...basically thats the idea ,you do not cut any wires...so if you want to take it out and put it another car its a breeze...im sure you will like having them...6000k or 8000k look good .if you go any higher you get bluer and you cant see much of the road
