i had 4300 to 6000k. the housing looks better on 6000k but the output looks pretty blue on the ground.

its your preference though. i ended up w/ 5000k and i LOVE THEM..

At this point, I don't think it matters........you already ordered them so.......


I'm sure you'll be happy with the kit. I am.

Default XD has proven time and again to be a good company (m)

to deal with and stands behind its products. Many here on CL, me included, are happy with them. Just remember, that 6K is bluer, but has LESS light. Also, remember to CAREFULLY install the kit- route the wires carefully (without kinks and away from sharp edges), follow factory leads where possible and mount components in areas away from heat, water and vibration and positioned so as to direct water away from connections. Also, use wire ties and wire loom as needed and you'll have a 100% factory looking install.

NYC, mainly Brooklyn, Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst area. I see mainly AWDs around but none in SGM. Don't feel special any more since you have the same car as me. Sterling interior?
