you dont see THAT much difference (from the drivers point of view) on major roads and fwys with street lights. but if you are on rural routes with no lights at all, you can really see xenon is better.

it really boils downs to when you drive your car. i am of the school that if i dont use it, regardless of how cheap it is, i dont want it. i rarely ever use headlights b/c i dont drive at night.
Thanks and I agree

Oh damn, don't post such pictures. I'm happy that everyone is preoccupied with white, don't need to be giving the horde different ideas.

Yes, agreed. Terrible, terrible. Better yet, I *really* like forest green. Carmona Red Metallic is hot too. How about Dark Olive Metallic.

Folks really have to stop picking ugly colors like black (boring) white (c'mon it's not a refrigerator).

Mooty,

After reading your post, I thought about it a lot and decided based on my use that I don't need the xenons...they're off my order!!

It saves weight and no stupid headlight washers!! Thanks Mooty!

black is awesome until you drive it off the showroom floor. then its a nightmare keeping it looking perfect. the silver rim of the wheel is just wrong. isn't it cheaper to order the standard wheel and have them powdercoated aftermarket?
