Default HID Lights - Do I need Bi-Xenon or just single?

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about installing HID lights for the headlights. But I'm not really sure if I need the Bi-Xenon or the single beam ones.

Also, do you guys recommend 6000k or 8000k?

Thanks

U just need the single ones. I recommend 6000k since it is white and looks more elegant in my opinion . Tho 8k look cooler and more sporty. Myself, I'm aiming for a mix of both

Single beam, our low beams use a projector beam setup so you only need a single HID in each headlight assembly.
As for the 6k-8k question, that's really up to you 6k is more of a pure white 8k has a bit of blue to the color, but it is very slight. Another thing to keep in mind is not all HID manufacturers use the same bulbs so one companies 6k may look slightly different from another's. I've seen some 6k HIDs that look more like 8k and the other way around, your best bet is to try and see if you can see one turned on maybe buy locally vs on the internet, so you can buy the HID that best works for you. Last thing to mention, as the K rating gets higher the light produced is not really as bright so a 6k will typically produce more light that a 10k hID the intensity of the color will also change as The K rating changes they range from green to yellow, to blue, and I've even seen purple.
