    Beautiful car, congratulations! I would like to have my car tinted too - may I ask where you got it done and where you got the bulbs from? Many thanks!

    Re: Tinted + light bulb changed

    Isn't that level of tinted windows illegal in HK?

    Here in the UK it is illegal to stop more than 25% of the light filtering through the windscreen and 30% through the front side windows.

    My black Audi has tinted windows right at the 25% limit and they do look amazing.

    Perhaps the pics are just deceptive?!

    Re: Tinted + light bulb changed

    Yes of course but with 4300K (i think) , the poster changed them to 6000K which gives an even 'bluer' light.
    This is a popular mod in Asia.
    Temp range is 4300-4500 = white (pure white), 6000K = white with blue hue 8000K = blue with slight purple hue 10000K = purple/blue color 12000K = pink/purple color

    Re: Tinted + light bulb changed

    In my view, you'r all set. The stock wheels are sick. I dont know why so many of you want after market ones on the TURBO. In any case, stock or not, your car looks so good it could cure world famine.
