I am trying to decide what color HIDs to get. What have other people done and what do you recommend? Please post photos if you have them. Anyone have Xtec HIDs? How do you like them? Any other recomendations for HIDs?

Nick | I would recommend 5000K. That is what I have (Xtec Kit) and they are definitely blue enough. I can't imagine what 6000K would be like. Personally, I would have liked a 4300K kit, since I think the visibility suffering a bit with the blue/green hue of the light.
I have the Xtec kit with ProjectorZ and like them a lot. My only nit is that I wish I could adjust the beam upwards a bit more. But it's a trivial problem compared to the stock lights  .

Do you have any close ups of the headlights in the daytime they dont have to be turned on. So I can see the gap you are talking about?

This is the closest thing I have right now. I'll try to take some pics later if you still need them.

How does the xtec kit get its juice? from stock headlight wiring or via harness and relay (using stock headlight wiring as trigger and power supplied by battery/alternator)?

I have wired it directly to the stock wiring as recommended by bimmer95 on bimmerforums.com. He is an X-tec Reseller. I have not had any problems since installing them. I believe a wiring harness with relay is available, but the one included with my kit was for an E46, so the wires were all the wrong length. I didn't want to mess with trying to fix it, so I just wired it directly to the stock wiring.
