97 y33 HID options?

i saw a few threads where people did it, but they were light on details.
i decided i dont like the look of the 99+ headlights, but still appreciate HIDs (my z33 has em and i would never want to go back)
what kits do people use?
are they HID for hi and low beam?
any kits work in the stock foglights?
how terrible is the beam pattern?

i'm looking for a 4000k kit, btw. (4300 if thats the lowest that exists)

i literally just got the car today, so any help on this appreciated as im still learning.

As far as beam pattern.....it depends on what kevlar you get!
4300K will be good for output but most HID fogs are jus for show but NICE! :biggthumpup:

yeah bro definately go 6000k or 8000k up top and 3000k or 6000k on the bottom. The guys in my crew go nuts with it, they have 10000k up top and below , I always tell them they can use the cars to land planes at the airport.

Yea...................

I would be in that group!
Mine are 12K up top and 10K on bottom!

SUPER BRIGHT! Especially cause my tops don't have the proper shield!

I'll change to 8K when I can...

Looks dope at night though! :biggthumpup:

I dont know if you guys no this but the higher the K the less light output you get..10000k should be a bit on the pinkish purple side. 8000k are bluish white, 6000k are whitish/bluish with a ting of purple and 5000k are white with a slight ting of blue and 4300k has the highest light out put and are white...:biggthumpup:
