although i have not put HID lights in my V8 yet, i have converted about 6 or
7 other cars i own/have owned. NOTHING beats HIDs. I personally will not
go above 5300K or below 4200K (which i prefer). I will NEVER convert a DOT
light housing with sloppy cut off. way to much scatter. some of the newer
DOT cars would be a good candidate, but i don't own anything that new!
