Go with the 6000K. You don't want people to mistake your car for an import with the blue tinted ones do you?

6000k has a hint of blue still. Id go with 4000-6000k anywhere in that range.

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.

like i posted in your other thread...the guy i bought mine from sells the Phillips kits...he also has low-beam only ones for i believe $185 SHIPPED...my high/low (more expensive) kit was $285 shipped...if i could do it all over again i would probably get the 4300k kit even though it is really white...MAYBE the 6000k...but the 8000k is STILL brighter than my old Silverstar Halogens...i have some pics but they suck..don't buy anything at this moment...i'm trading headlight assemblies with a guy on here...they should be here next thursday or friday and then i will have pics and a vid

I had 8000k in my old Grand Prix...I'd go 6000k. ALL HIDs are going to be bright, but the blue took getting used to and I'd rather have gotten some in the 6000k range looking back. Check out my car domain for pics of the 8000k kit.

it's on page 5
