I managed to get my Hid's installed this weekend between the honey do's
The road comes alive after dark now....

 

HID's in the high beams? OK, but don't they take a while to reach full brightness?

I LOVE my HID's. I'll never go back...

 

Not at all they come up quickly and really light the highway up I love them too.......only way to go.......

 

I heard it was bad to have hids for high beams because the turning on and off frequently is hard on the ballasts...

What temperature rating are those btw 10k?

 

They are 5k ... I have had no problems so far they fire up really quick no flickering and you can see all the little critters eyeballs reflecting along the road

 

They look just like mine-5000K. Digital cameras always make these (HID'S) look bluer than in person.

Looks great Howard! Driving at night was a little bit of a chore-now it's like...night and day!

But, the best high beams I own are: 2003 Tahoe with SilverStar Ultras. Perfect tight pattern, pure white, and 1.5 mile reflector visibility. Remarkable. I had the Crossfire and the Tahoe next to each other last week and compared-A/B if you will, the color of the Ultras in the high beams of both cars. The projectors in the Crossfire was definitely more tan or yellow. I got curious-and removed the bulb from one projector, supported it and turned them on again-just as perfect a match to the Tahoe as you can get.

I guess the projectors them selves "yellow" the light from halogens. Believe me or not-try it yourself.

 

I have a Ford Edge that I would like to put the Silver Star's in. They look awsome...
Yes your right the pictures do not do these bulbs justice they are white no blue tint at all,,,
