I gonna buy the HID kit in a week but I don't know jack sh*t about them. What's the difference between 6000k and 8500k?
Which one is better for me to buy?
Where can I get them cheap?

I have a 8500K HID kit in my car and it looks awesome, you can see so much better and it is very blue. I would recommend the 8500k

The higher the number, the bluer it gets. But I'd stay around 6000k. There really is no point going higher.

the bluer you go.......the less you can see........it will definetly be brighter than halogen but trust me........if you put a 4100k versus a 6000k or more next to each other.........yes the 6000k will look alot cleaner and bluer........but down the road......the 4100k will illuminate alot more........whiter light......just compare a blue bulb halogen versus a stock halogen....if anything dont go higher than 6000k....just my 2 cents





I have a 4100k setup on my EP

I've got 8000K HIDs on my EP and it's white. Install was pretty easy too. I was gonna get 6500K but I got a good deal on the 8000K ;) since my shop sells them. LOVE the white output.

I wouldn't suggest getting blue ones. I got pulled over at MCC of all places cause cops thought I had blue output... but they realized they were wrong when they took a better look. ~Doh!

My 5k kit looks blue at the start up and from certain angles, but most of the time projects white. If you look in a thread about my HIDs a few threads down i took 2 pics of my HID's w/o the headlights, but from slightly different angles.....and they looked very blue from one angle, and very white from another. *shrug*
