Yes stock is 4300k, I can get the kit.

I can give you 10% off if you want to place an order; we also have slim ballast.

?? He wants a yellow beam. Yellow HIDs are like a 3000k. They look kinda...stupid IMO. It's usually a weird...greenish...blueish...yellowish...weird looking light when you're looking at it. It shines out yellow as F, though.

Why do you want HID brights? This is a bad idea.

You will lose your ability to flash your high beams if you do this.. Cold HIDs take a second to turn on and a little while to hit full brightness. And blinking them on and off is bad for them as well.

I have HID High beams.

I love them. Anyone who has seen them can tell you I could rally with them. In an open area I get a Line of sight at least a mile out.

How'd you do that? Can you post up pics of where you put the ballast and stuff?

that would depend. if you get a straight plug n play kit it will come on automatically n chances are you can fry your wires, what your talking about with the time to turn on is a relay kit where it slowly lights up to wattage/temperature.

theres so much space in the s2000 engine bay, you can mount them in so many places.

Well I have yellow Hella high beams in it now. I like the way that looks when I kick on the highs. I never even have to actually use my high beams, I live in a city.

If I do a HID high, will they still function as my daytime running light?
