Upgraded HID bulbs

doubleA · 03-15-2010, 05:27 PM

Anyone upgrade their HID bulbs from the OEM 4300k? I'm thinking of going for 5000k or 6000k for slightly more color. Not interested in it looking much bluer than stock, just less yellow. If you have what kind of bulbs did you go with and how do you like it? Post up some pics if you have them!

Sounds like from what you want, 5000K would be your best bet. 6000K has a more defined blue color to it from various angles. See below pic.

i would recommend 6k for your HID bulbs, as 8k may be a little blue and some output will be lost
