Anyone gotten HID's from this site.
http://www.customlightz.com/
they seem to be a pretty decent looking company and i'm thinking about doing this. Anything i should be aware of. Only think i find funny is it says they run at 14000K. I thought HID's were only a spark jumping a gap at such a voltage you don't notice the electrical spark. I thought they ran at a pretty cool tempature, like less than a halogen. :screwy:

14000K bulbs, or 4300K bulbs for that matter does not refer to the absolute temperature of Kelvin, but a temperature scale of color/light.
Kelvin = 100 + Farenheit. Thus, if we were talking about 14000 degrees of Kalvin; circa 14000 Farenheit, not only would it be too hot for the car it would melt the world
Keep the questions going.

Hit me up with a PM if you have any direct questions or post the general questions here, and I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.

This the guy to go to for retrofits. Considering how badly we fudged David's retrofit, him being able to make those into an awesome pair of headlights was very impressive. If it weren't so expensive to do such a retrofit, I would definitely consider it.
