Thread: Should I buy 6000k or 8000k hids?

Do the smart thing and order 6000K at the highest. Still has slight hue of blue, but still can see ****. As for the 35W vs. 55W, not much difference in price of money.

The point of hids for you may be light output but for others (including me) it's both. I will not get worse output than stock seeing that my stock is halogen. 10000k would give me x2 output while 4300k close to x3.

I don't think purple is legal. I will probably go with 6000k.
