I don't want them to get pissed at me so I sent the white (6000K) bulb back.

At least the two lamps match, now!

I feel blue : ))))

8000k is a good choice, i had 6000k in my fit for awhile and wanted a little more blue with out the loss of light so i went with the 8000k's and man what a difference, and plus with a blue fit with 8000ks just loook amazing together!

It depends on where you live. Up here in Vancouver its kinda hard for us to have 8k or 10k just because the cops do crack down on us since they're not stock. I'd say 6k is usually the best one out there in terms of light and less attention from the cops

You are correct on that account...



...though the 6000K was brighter, IMO.


Happy Veterans Day, Vets!

ahahahhaha to that guy that bought 12000k lights bet you bought it because you thought the higher the number the "brighter" it is lol whenever i see a guy driving around wit purple lights, i feel bad for em, even if they did want purple, pink is sexi tho ;] but looking carefully, i see theres some purple, so id say 9000k on the left and 6000k on the right. (6000k because i know what 7000k looks like DURR! and i kno thats not stock)

NOW, mine are both bluish and I thought that was 8000K (?).

When --- sent the HID kit, the last picture is what I got...two different colors!

I wire-tied even the dust boots, so I was peezed at having to R&R everything again!

at least it worked out, in the end.

I'd guess that mine are the same color as yours.

At least they look about the same color as yours.

4300k-6000k is the best and brightest lighting.
Only one car company uses 6000k, its Mercedes and only in one car.

All the others use 4300k.

now im cant decide on what lights to change my lights too, i have 8000k in there now but ive noticed that during the rainy season that it doesnt seem as bright, i have a pair of 6000k bulbs and wondering if i should change them back to 6000k so i can see a little better, i might use 6000k during the winter and 8000k during the summer so i can see better, what do you guys think, i have to take the whole front bumper off and take the headlamps out just to change the bulbs each time, i mean the 8000ks are in there break in period and might get brighter so i dont know if its worth it yet.

Get 4300k..... When I first put mine in they were yellowish, after hours build up they turn to a crisp white.
HID's dont get brighter, when hours build up they get dimmer. This is because they color shift.
