still jealous you'll get the headlight washers. wonder if you can add this onto a non washer equipped car?

oem hid low beam is 8000k i think. im running 4300k in low beams, 4300k in fog lights, and 6000k in high beams but they will be at 4300k in high beams soon!

really? dammit. i was under the understanding that the lower the kelvin the brighter the light. this not true? so whats the brightest HID bulb then?

OEM is 4300K that is why i switched to 6000K, i was also debating on getting 8000k but i went with the 6000k. 8000k too blue.

i will try getting some night pic's for tommorow.

just the colour, more of a diamond white with blue tint to it. OEM is 4300k and has that yellowish tint to it.

OEM is 4300k... 4300 is "brighter" than 6000k... but 6k looks nicer.

3000k would be the brightest... although most cheap aftermarket bulbs aren't really 3000k.. they're just 4300k with color added...

nice pics. you can really see the difference in DAYLIGHT.....?

now did you change the hid bulb or did you have to change the whole hid kit???

That is true, the lower kelvin bulbs like 4300k or 3000k have more visible output than 6000k or 8000k. That's why I wouldn't personally go higher than 6000k, you lose too much output.

If you have factory HID's all you have to do is switch the bulbs.
