Default GETTING HID ASAP

ok so i know its been asked, but im in the marker for HID's i hate the all blue. i want bright as heck and sexy white with a hint of blue for attitude. i know the higher the k rating the bluer the color and the less lumen output so i want lots of lumen output, but not the crappy stock bulb yellow


any help all?? post pics if ya got em

4300 is pure white 6000 is what you are looking for. Check out cliff's thread, Mobile hid $170 shipped with wiring harness and great customer service.

do you really ever use the high beam though?? the light output on those hid are like 3 times brighter so i wouldent even think the hi beams would be worth it.

He doesnt want blue, 6000k is blue. I have them in projectors @6000k. 4300k is all white, its what the saturns use in their HID option. Best light output, cops wont question the legality of it.

no I don't use the high beams, and he said he didn't want 8000, but he did want a hint of blue.

6000k HIDs from mobile HID. Fast shipping, super easy to install. I've had them for about 2 months now. Love em! I hardly get any flashing. I had silverstars and got flashed all the time. Stock housing btw.

I'm going to just state that operatic ships overnight on his own dime and sells a great product.

BTW, I've had them for over a month now, love them - been flashed maybe once.

I've never seen the point of hi/low HID kits if the increased lumens doesn't help you see, there is definately something else you should be worried with. You'd probably find that even the lumens of OEM high beams is not much better then 4300k or 6k HIDs. I've loved every minute with my 6k in my OEM housings.
