right on man, sweet ride :) how does she compare to the 8g ? i know its basically the same car ! :P i just installed the 10000k kit on my ride, she loves them !

[Rach3T8G]

Thanks! Compared to the 8G its really fun to drive since its 5spd & my exhaust tone is a little bit different but i love it! & 10,000K? Dam that's got to be really blue

^Too Blue IMO, There is a world of difference between the 8000k 35w low and 6000k 35w fog combo in one of my G's and the 6000k 55w low and fog combo in the other.


BTW im waiting for the lights on the G that isn't matched to go out so I can replace and match them. Maybe projectors if my bank account allows.

I just replaced my 10k bulbs in my 8G with 6k, gonna see what the difference is tonight. Just from daytime I can tell the color difference is night and day, now gotta see if the light output is.

6000K > 10,000K

What most people don't know, is the higher temp you go, you lose visibility.

5000K and 6000K are the optimal temps to use for both visibility, and a hint of blue.

I have projector heads from my old G that i'll let go for $100 shipped the only thing is they'll have to be wired into the stock harness

This! I wanted 8K but since i don't have projector heads for the 3G yet i went with 5K

5K is pretty much a pure white. The 6K I used to have on the GA had a tinge of blue, but nearly the same visibility.
