I hate to say this, your stock lights look whiter and brighter. Maybe it is just the way the pictures are taken.

How much did you spent?

ANMVQ, I got the 6K kit from the Diode Dynamics as well,
haven't installed it yet, but I read the manual and it seems like taking the wheel off, and accessing headlights from the wheel well is an easier procedure??? i dunno lol

def easier to go through the wheel well. Take the wheel off bend back the liner and you have access to the back of the light.

yup! couldn't agree with you more!!
Now I need to get around putting mine on too! lol

one question is... if I take the wheels off myself, and put it back on,with just a hand tool, is there a possibility of the wheels vibrating at high speeds? since I didn't torque it down enough?

Thanx man really happ with the way they look.

No, I have changed rims many times in my driveway and just used the wrench that was in the car, Just crank the crap out of it ,Us the star pattern to tighten it, An them go to a wheel place and ask them to check the torque on them.. They will come out with a torque stick and check, Most places will not charge you or make you weight.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Although the 6k bulbs are whiter and looks brighter, however the 4300 bulbs (stock) has a longer distance. Meaning that you can see further than the 6k bulbs. With that in mind, I'm not sure which ones are better (praticallity or looks).
