RE: 6000k or 8000k
6000k would have more usable light i researched this before because i had hids on my 05. The 8000k would be BLUER but would actually have less light output on the road. hope i helped some.

RE: 6000k or 8000k
As the temperature goes up in degrees Kelvin (K), the lumen (light output) decreases.
4300K will be a bright white and is what luxury cars now come with. They give off the best light because the projector is designed for it.
6000K will still be bright but will contain a hint of blue at certain angles. Shouldn't be a problem with the fuzz.
8000K will be noticable blue and 12000K will be purple and gay.

Ive never heard of that brand ( I didnt even see a name ). Anyways with stuff like this you get what you pay for. Go for a McCulloch or Philips kit.

+1 on the Philips and stick to the 4.3k
You'll like them better than the 6k that does have a noticeable bluish tint.

just so you know...if you get projectors later they use different size bubls so your HIDs won't work in them...and you should get the HID foglight conversion to complete the look

Stangmods.com has their HID + Projector kit on sale right now, you might as well save up and do it all at once if that's your plan.
