I have seen 1200k on ebay once before...You won't be able to see anything with 1200k, you'll get 80% light lost...They last less than a year, its not worth it..

"Looking for the most blue kit"

You will also be looking to get a ticket as well.

then all you need is 6000k. 7000k is already way too blue and dim. i had the tls so i know what you are talking about. and yes i changed the stock hid on my tl-s to 6000k

It's not 1200K, it's 12000K.......And it's not blue, it's purple.

12000k? What the....I think purple is only 6000k

S2000 is actually 4300k...It looks blue because of it's projector housing...Likewise, its like the for all of the stock cars, BMW, AUDI and etc...

7000K can't be as bright as 4100K OEM HIDs. It probably only looks bright head-on...bluer lights tends to scatter, which means more glare.

yes, from straight on it's brighter, but the usable light on the ground is deifntely less
