Default HID Color Temp

Ok, so I need some help in making the decision on color temperature. I have decided to get the stangmods kit. My concern is color temperature to get.

From what I understand most factory HIDs are in 41 - 4300k range. I like for them to have a lil' blue hue to it, understand the less usable light, but does anyone have pics of their car w/ 6000k kit installed. Any experiences w/ the stangmods kit??

Thanks!

Hi CFLstangGT,

I fitted the Retro Solutions kit (highly recommended!) and went for 4300K, 35W for the most OEM look. The color is very white and contrasts heavily with the stock (very) yellow fogs!

If you want a hint of blue while maintaining good usable light output then 6000K sounds about right. Anything over this and you run the risk of venturing into the realm of rice ;-) !

I added the Retro Solutions HID kit to my fog lights. I went with 5000k and they are very close in color to my factory HID headlights. I also highly recommend Retro Solutions - great company with a great product!
