No worries dude. I do have to admit the blue lights look good and I am just passing down info that I know. I have 6000k HID kit in a stock '06 projector housing myself and it has worked well so far, but I definitely notice it does not project as far or has as good of a cut off line as a proper HID equipped car...Eventually I want to install S2K retrofits in my housings.
sadly i already purchased them (arriving tomorow) so if they are horribly less bright than stock than i will go with other options. The s2k idea sounds sick!! cant wait to see!just a quote i found that really helps
...
The blue look you are looking for that cars like bmw have doesn't come from the color of the bulb itself but from the projector. I have a 5000k kit in my 04-05 and driving in hard rain or even a slight drissle is scary. I had to concentrate extra hard to just see where the road was. 5000k i think is perfect. 6000k is a little too blue but 5000k is just right. Oh and if you are talking about OEM fogs helping they don't light up the road that much. just a little more on the side and right in front of you. I would read up a little more before you make the purchase. What year do you have? If you got a bug eye i would definitely try and get some projectors before the hid's.

i already ordered them and they come tomorow. The JDM 02-03 bugeye headlight housings that are like $1000+ for the pair are sick and will be my future, but that $1000+ kinda holds me back 
i kinda want my audio first 
Wouldnt the HID kit come with "projectors" seeing as their just not bulbs in the kit or are we talking a different part?

Replacing front windshield with ppg tomorrow. I had cracked front windshield for 4 yrs. It got way too large to deal with anymore.
Front spt oem underspoiler lip and painted side skirts are on the way.
Rear underspoiler is no longer availuable until March from subaru. Do APR carbon fiber rear diffuser fit bugeye wrx sedan? Where can I get a good deal. Anyone?
