when you buy a jdm car from those grey importers, you will be given a choice to choose your window. whether a clear one or those dark shaded ones. some will even give you both sets (after sales service good ma) and its up to you to switch. my toyota wish has 2 sets. however for my evo i was only given 1 set and i opted for the dark shaded ones on the rear and front was like yellow-ish type. if you look at my car;s side and compare both front passenger and rear passenger, you can definitely see that they are both entirely different shade and the rear is way darker shade than front. however you can still see thru the opposite passenger window at night. its the clarity of the window that the JPJ are on the look out for.

Best is always to stick to your current headlight specs for lightbulbs. if light is not sufficient, then change the color type of bulb. Normally the yellow halogen bulb is best because changing to a whiter bulb you cannot see the road as well as the yellow one. The yellow street light will be stronger than your white light at night.

unless you are a frequent highway person (long distance and lonely drive at night where you do not get enough light), you can use the brighter one.

I've heard a lot of cases where people install HID into their car only to find out that the HID caused more problems. They have wiring problem, their light cover melted or damaged (probably because of the heat)... some car wiring caused the car to get blazed... Scary stuff!

If you want to use a HID kit, make sure that the headlamp reflector is design for HID usage, else you have to do a retrofit of a projector into it before fixing in a D2S HID into the projector. I'm doing a projector retrofit into my fog lamp, so far the cut off is nice and no glare to the opposing road user. thumbup.gif
