....well it cost me a little more than I would have preferred, but the outcome was way worth it!.....Cartoys took 3 hours to install them, probably because mine were the first that shop had ever installed ....once they were in and on, they said they had other bulbs that I could put in to make the other lights look bluer....(yeah right , I said.....wasn't goning to be suckered in to buying more "fake" xenon bulbs.....but they tricked me and put ONE of the piaa bulbs in just to let me see....BINGO....it worked....couldnt have those ugly yellow things anymore....

.anyway, the night lights up now, I dont even turn my fogs on, because the blue light of the HID lights is so cool...I recommend it!.....oh one more thing....no one has flashed me, thinking i had brights on......so dont see any problems with legal issues

Dexter,


he installed real HIDs for his low beams and put in PIAA bulbs for his high beams....

the real question is the daytime light of your driving lights...
is it still the HID light during the day too? I wouldn't want to drive like that, but if you have normal DRL and then when you turn on your lights it goes HID, that's amazing

The US cars don't have daytime running lights. So I don't think it's an issue.

Very nice. If you want them to look even sweeter... replace that orange light/indicator with a hyperwhite. High budget!!

sorry for the confusion guys, but yes, I installed an HID conversion kit from "Proxenon" for $393(5000k).......and my 5 watt parking lights which are located at the top of the high beams were replaced by PIAA extreme white bulbs...installation was $153 total...

Hey mason, can you post a night shot of the beam output? And also are you still using factory North American Spec headlights? Or have you upgraded those before installing the HID kit?

nightshot of beam pattern for "LapisBlue"

Good question Lapis Blue!.....No I left the US spec lights as they are....they do not "selflevel" like the xenon headlights do in europeon Mazda 6's....and I'll tell you why I decided I could get by with "non-selfleveling" headlights. Mazda 6's have projector beam headlights....which have a distinct "cutoff" as you can see in the pic I've included....the only time I am concerned, is when I come up over a hill and another car is coming up over the same hill in the opposite direction or worse yet, stopped at a traffic signal.....once again, I converted my LOW beams only to HID xenon, left the high beams as they were, but changed the tiny little 5watt parking lights to piaa's(these are located in a top corner of the high beamreflector)....didnt I upload pics of this already?.....anyway, for your request, Lapisblue, here's a nighttime shot of the "cutoff" beam pattern that I speak off

Hey Nobody, your beam looks alot whiter than my 4300 k... was it just the camera? On mine, it looks like it has a tiny hint of blue ar certain angles.. otherwise dead on it looks platinum... also did you re-aim your headlamps? I did on mine just to be safe.. but nice pics!!
