Sounds good! I would like all the lights to match even though like classic look seeing is more important to so would like to get this done with in the next month. Which wires did you reverse the green and black wire's? Anything special to remove them from connector? I have not looked to be honest at my headlight harness.

Nice! Thanks for all the info you helped alot of guys out here on this subject.
Getting ready to make a 1200 mile round trip in about 1.5 weeks in the K20, so I ordered up a set since I will be travelling mostly in the hours of darkness. Looking forward to seeing the improvement.
Heck yeah super real world feed back on trip like that.

Yeah - there is a law on the total Lumens allowed, so don't go making these 'factoids' up on the fly. It's a Federal law that is in effect whether the City/State or Federal cop and then the inspector chooses to enforce it in your neighborhood or not..
You are then on the hook to try to get the ticket signed off by a Lamp Inspector or Inspection Station - which I was - both!
As far as retrofit HIDs without the aiming motors - it's totally illegal and I've seen CHiPs (in California and AHPs in Arizona) red tag a vehicle with them installed for getting in the cop's eyes --- either in his mirrors or on the other side of the road - then the cop has the vehicle seized by an tow-impound yard.
BTW: lights are the biggest citation device for a 'stop-and-frisk' pullover that a cop can use. If you're carrying - then at least try to maintain the look of a legal vehicle.
Paying the fine - fixing the lights back to OEM --- and then after paying the impound fee, getting a Brake and a Lamp and a Smog inspection - since the registration went into limbo while it was red-tagged - is a lot of $$$$$$ and time.
We'll, I'm on the road...stopping for dinner anyways. Here are some low beam pics on the highway.
