HIDs

Well my birthday is coming up and my girlfriend decided to buy me a pair of HIDs for my mustang from stangmods.com.
I'm torn between the 6000k and the 8000k. Just wondering what you guys' opinions are on them and which ones you like.

RE: HIDs

I had 8000k in my grand prix, if I could do it over again I'd get 6000k. I personally think the 8k is too blue.

RE: HIDs

I had 8k, and now I have 6k. Looking at the car you could not tell if it had 6k or 8k. You could tell whenever you put one of each in each headlight, then it was obvious which was which. I like the 6k b/c its a little brighter and I can see the road better.

The lower the kelvin rating the higher the lumens. 6k is brighter than 8k which is brighter than 10k etc. Just something to consider.
