the pics are not quite how the lights appear when I look at them directly. the color of the hid is actually lighter. i think it was because i used flashlight when taking pictures, and the lights in the garage somehow have a little effect, too.

I will post some pictures showing the light output on the ground later on.

Thank you for looking.

3000k isnt all that bright. i've seen a jetta w/ 3000k city light hids with 5000k headlights. personally, i love my 3000k fogs and wont go any other way after this.

i see you have fogs. are you using oem bulbs there? even if you have 5000k as fogs it'll still not be optimal setup...

The EURO and JDM look now is YELLOW.







If the law didn't state that your headlights must be white I would have got yellow for the headlights as well. Right now I have 5300K for the lows and 3000K for the foglights.
Cops do not stop me and when adverse weather conditions calls, I just switch on the fogs.

if anyone needs any HID kits i have them available for passatworld members

Yes I got Helix projectors with fog lights and put H1 5300K HID lows and H3 3000K HID fogs.

these are the lights

it has a separate low beam, high beam and fog light as well.

first thing was to prepare the HID bulb installation for the low beams and fog lights. She wanted the high beams to be HID as well but I convinced her it was OVERKILL and you don;t need it.
