Default Lighting

So, lately I've been doing a bunch of research on lighting. I REALLY wanted to be able to put green led halo rings in the headlight housings, but seeing as AC has sealed assemblies and I would need to disassemble the housing by heating it and pry the seals apart, I decided to try something different.
I've been wanting a HID kit from the start so I bought a HID kit from DDM Tuning, 35watt, 8000K. Going to use them in the high beam location.
For the green accent that I want, going to try green 7.5watt, 700lm Cree LED, projector/fog light in the low beam location. I know, I know... the led lighting doesn't compare to the HID... I'm not going for brightness with the led, I just want the headlights to glow green when I'm just riding around. They were inexpensive and if they don't work, then I can take them out and put the OEM bulbs back in and still have the HID's in the high beams. Oh yeah, also got the led conversion harness(resistor) for when your using led's instead of halogen. I'll post pics before, during and after the install.

Also got a good deal on a MICTUNING 7.5", 36W, 2500lm, 6000K SPOT 12 LED CREE LED Light Bar, IP68. 2yr warranty. I figured with loosing the low beam to the green led... I'd need something in it's place.
