but i dont get why you would want all three lights running all the time, and your kill it when there's oncoming traffic, that does kill the lif of the bulb, but i guess with a lineup like yours, money doesnt matter....

pics of the 30000k?

no i dont got pics of 30000k yet they are actually prolly not really 30000k thats how they were advertised, they are very colored but id say more like 15000k in real terms. my stock lights outta the red one are at evodaves for painting right now and my mr heads n tails are sittin in my room and both evos are at the body shop right now til prolly december..... well the silver one will be back in 2 weeks they said, then i got to take it to Slick and have him strip it down to convert to the stock block off the red one because im makin the red one the real nice one...

I don't believe that 30K is in the visible light spectrum...
