UNiT_xEr0 12-08-2007, 11:49 PM i bought all the bulbs from 4300k to 12000k and what i like the most is 6k because i never got pulled over with it. 8k i did GammaTNT 12-09-2007, 01:58 AM i would go with 6000k --Final_Wrath-- 12-09-2007, 02:00 AM its really if you want more white or more blue?

ScionizedRide 12-09-2007, 02:03 AM ^post up ur pix to help the OP decide on the color ExpresScion 12-09-2007, 02:11 AM I just installed my 6000k HIDs today, they look amazing. I'd say stick to 5 or 6 cause once you go past 6, the more blue you get and the less you will see aldovargas 12-09-2007, 02:13 AM WOW those look amazing!! 6k it is 6K http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k8/soccerdreams/CIMG1238.jpg --Final_Wrath-- 12-09-2007, 02:14 AM let me finish eating my cereal, then i'll post some pics of my 8ks Scott8 12-09-2007, 01:50 PM let me finish eating my cereal, then i'll post some pics of my 8ks you done with your cereal yet??? :P Guille_Tc 12-09-2007, 02:10 PM 8k http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/DivineCoolguy/PA240047.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/DivineCoolguy/l_702c8d334ad3d4acd99a59996620c092.jpg silverstreaktc 12-09-2007, 08:52 PM i have texon 8500k that i bought off of texonstore.com. i don't have projectors, and i haven't had any trouble with the five0 (knock on wood)... they look good too...mostly white with a tad shade of aqua-blue tCkid2005 12-09-2007, 08:57 PM go 8k's!! i got 8k's, there sweeett LivNLo94 12-10-2007, 02:02 AM my cousin just put the 8K mcculloch kit on his 350Z, they are PHUKING BLUE!!!!!!!!!! ExpresScion 12-10-2007, 02:16 AM 6000K on left, 8000K on right. Both on 08 headlights. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b83/foxyannie24/P1000656.jpg --Final_Wrath-- 12-10-2007, 03:28 AM like i said...its pretty muck if you want white or blue....thats really the only question there is.....cause if you wanted more light then youd go with 4300k freeflowing 12-11-2007, 12:27 AM 5k or less b/c its closet to sunlight as you can get. as i said in a previous post, 6k have a bluish hue to them not a completely blue but bluish hue none the less. robocp4 12-11-2007, 01:12 AM 6000K on left, 8000K on right. Both on 08 headlights. Well with that pic i have decided on the 6k its more light and they look sweet. so I hope you can decided from that pic too. andino 12-11-2007, 04:32 AM 6000k is white with a hint of blue. 8000k is blue with a slight hint of purple. with projectors, i'd go with 5000k or 6000k. 8000k is too blue example: 8000k, 8000k, 6000k http://inlinethumb32.webshots.com/33887/2939883820076243274S600x600Q85.jpg (http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2939883820076243274bAbVDF) aldovargas 12-12-2007, 08:59 AM Im going with 6000k because the whole shpiel, that iv read on several forums, on how the more blue you get the less visible light and your visibility gets poor. Althought I love the bluer look it doesnt seem practical. If anything later on ill switch out the bulbs to 8000k if i really feel the need 2. Thanks again everyone for all your input, you guys really helped seal my final decision.

With 8000k the light is more of a blue so you will catch the cops eye more than if you were to have 6000k . GQQSE13 12-13-2007, 03:22 PM wow that sucks!!!! ExpresScion 12-13-2007, 04:06 PM I'm pretty sure most states have this law, you just don't know about it.
