how would you guys out there compare these 2 lights. sure the 6000k makes the 4300k look yellow. but i mean how is the light put reduced compared to 4300k?? how well is the ground lit with 6000k. i know for a fact that the "blue" light the 6000k give off seems more bright but it just doesn't reflect off the ground as good. anyone that has done the 6000k regret it?

For an example .. here's a picture that rominl took of his car and Synergy's car. Synergy has stock 4100's and rominl has 6000k of course. ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Also, note that in the picture it looks as if the 4100k's are spread more evenly because Synergy's housing is made for HID's -- but I'm pretty sure you know that already

Here are some pics of before and after the upgrade to the HID's in the fogs (the titles of the pics indicate the before and after pics):

The pics in the daylight are a better representation of how the colors of the lights really look. The night time shots aren't that great.
Would I do this mod again if I had to do it over? Not so sure. Mainly because of the expense I incurred. The HID kit cost $420 and the install was a bi##h and cost me over $200.00 - is the mod worth $600.00? I am sure many members here will say no. I am not so sure either.
However having spent the money now, I am happy with it, but would not do it again if I had to.

I've thought about popping in some 6k also (I have OEM HIDs), but am concerned about looking too blue / ricey / cheap. They do not?
