I have 8000k and they are pretty blue. I personally like them, I have them in sh!t ebay projectors. Im doing a retro fit now that il be putting in new 8000k from probly ddm tuning. I think 8000k is pushing it, 10000k is super blue, almost purple. Bad choice especially in stock housings

In reality with a retrofit you should run a good hid bulb and ballast like the mirimoto.

yes i read all of the comments my friend has 10k and there not bad at all and i can get a pair of angel eyes for 35 bucks so that nothing compared to retro. i ended up going with 8k just in case. 10k might sound bad but until youve riden in a car with them there not bad at all and look pretty cool.

35w, 4.3-6k, done.

No questions. I had 8k once and it was blue enough that it annoyed the piss out of me. 10k in stock housing is also going to make you a huge faggot on the road, just saying. In projectors it's bad enough, but full on in-your-face reckless in stock housings is going to piss people off, including the cops.

Thank you!

I have 6k and they have a light blue tint but still look good too. Not super blue like some you see and the output is great as well.

**Hippo Machine** · 01-27-2012

I had 35w 8000k hid's and they looked great, just blue enough and way brighter than my headlights.

**Doug 97 gtp** · 01-27-2012

yup thats what i got and also the blue will match the blue pearl in my paint and my blue led's in my interior lights

**dpzelenak** · 01-27-2012

**dpzelenak** · 01-27-2012

**Bio248** · 01-27-2012

**dpzelenak** · 01-27-2012

**Doug 97 gtp** · 01-27-2012

do you have 8k headlights and foggs. the fogs look kinda greenish. the hid's are gonna look really good on my car i cant wait to get them

**dpzelenak** · 01-27-2012

**Doug 97 gtp** · 01-27-2012

Then you are blind, thats a lot of blue.

And the the OP, who the hell cares if your favorite color is blue. The point of HID's is to get better USABLE light.

**Doug 97 gtp** · 01-28-2012

its really not that blue. ive seen worse 8k are bright as hell anyway just because you like 6k and 4300k doesnt mean i like it. its my car and ill do what i want with the thread was meant to see what the light difference was between 8k and 10k not 6k or not 5k or 4300k. 8 or 10 how do you not get that
