What's up Irok?

I went with 6k, for a clean white look. I also have a black car. Here's my thread.. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...lled-pics.html

8k would look pretty sweet, but I think 10k would be way too blue. However, if blue is what you want, then 10k would be your best bet.

Didn't know you can simply replace the blub to reach 8k.....might be nice, my dad's old corolla with after market HID (I install them) is brighter than all my others.

I say go with 12000k on top and bottom.. looks great on black



If your looking for something a little more conservative but looks good.. I say go with 8000k but make sure you do the fogs too.

Getting them is not hard at all.. DDM tuning is the spot that will hook you up for your HID needs. PM me if you have any questions.

My opinion is go with 6K on top and 10K on the bottom. I have 6K on my low beams but I have a silver SC. I think it would look hot with black too, although if you want something more dramatic you could do 6K/12K! Keep us posted on your final decision! lol
