Im looking at making my jeep look cool lol. I wanting to get green led semi halo headlights with 6-8k hids. My jeep is black with black wheels and was thinking of painting the lug nuts green. I like the look of black and green but wanted the interior lighting as well as the dash and radio to be blue. Do you think this would look weird with this color combo or have any other color combos you would suggest?, Also I plan oh painting the jeep true pearl blue down the road and dont wanna go thru the trouble of redoing the lighting and accents to make it look right.

Purple and teal. Throw some 28" spinners on it with low pro tires and get BALLER written in old English lettering across the back window.

The only thing I don't like the Halo headlights. But other than that go for it! I really don't like hids either... The aren't very reliable. I've had them in the A bunch of vehicles and I always found myself carrying spare regular bulbs bc you never knew if they were going to act up.

I just don't think they look right on an xj. Just my opinion, not trying to shoot you down.

You will see when you are around them more how much of a pain they are. They are worth it though bc they look good... But you've got to be careful. Not to touch them when you I stall them bc they go goofy.

I figured 8ks would match the interior lighting some. My main goal tho is best visibility so 6ks seem to be the best compromise for me

Honestly just make sure you buy quality ballasts and you'll be fine. It's when you buy the cheaper ebay ballasts and bulbs that you have problems..

Sometimes they are worth being a pain bc hids do look good!
