Don't bother with Diamond Vision. Less light then factory. Good if you want the fully sick blue light I guess. I use Phillips Xtreme vision +100 55W/60W in the clubby. More then enough light. Also a whiter light.

My eyes adjust and react a lot better to a white light compared to factory stock colour despite the little bit less light output. I originally had HID's which were fantastic for my eyes to see the road and surrounds with but i'd rather not have HID's in a non projector headlight housing for the sake of others.

Also, does anyone know the size of the interiors festoon bulb light for an Executive VS Sedan? My tape measurer has gone walkies.

I've looked on a lot of youtube videos. They are 5000k which is pure white. The blue tinge doesn't start till 6000k+

i got h.i.d,s in mine for dip and both main beams... 300bux fitted..... i do alot of nite driving so its worth the money to be able to see. . but still going to invest in a light bar to go in the recess infront of the rad just for some extra light

All the ballasts and extra wiring etc under the hood also gave me the shits with HID's which is another reason i chucked them.
