[V8] HID's for V8

[too many quattros]

i would like to point something out, the color cast u speak of is usally a
result of a poor quality reflector or even more so, projector on cars
equipped with them.  I have noticed a similar effect of non HID projector
equipped cars i have been given as rentals (KIA for one).  It MAY have
something to do with the lense too, but i have played around with that,
removing lenses and still get the effect.  so i believe it to be more with
the reflector/projector.  COULD BE crappy bulbs too.  have not experimented
with that to much.
