Newbie HIDs color temp ?

I'm actually using 8k and have been for about 4 years and still am. I can actually still see very well without any issues for me at all. Just anything less than 8k is perfectly fine. If your car comes with housing you'll want to get it retrofit or get upgraded headlights. Just don't use housing you'll glare the **** out everywhere and also you can cause front-end accident. I'm using retrofit on my 01' Max. I still don't have retrofit for fogs... really don't need it tho. :/

Hey! You stole my ideas! ^ I got this exact setup right now. Whats the yellow bulb you're using dude? Mine is Hella and it looks way more deep yellow.
Best light output = 4300-5000k
anything above that you will be "cool and blue" but output and functionality go down drastically.
IMO, pick function over looks. Or, you can always be one of the people with "those blue lights" that everyone hates on all the time

Buy mine, I have a set FS. Both fog and headlights, and if you don't have HID fogs, buy my kit also FS in the same thread found in my sig.

By the way my first hid kit in 03 I bought used for like $600. Back then it was a very unusual sight to see. They've been on a GXSR bike, 2 maxima's , and still running strong!

I'm doing the project right now. I'm going with 6k. I purchased a Kensun kit. Only have two things holding me up. After reading about thin wires, I decided to drill out the back of the fog light caps as opposed to splicing. I just need to figure out a way to seal the caps now. The other more difficult problem was my car was in an accident before I purchased it and rather than dropping serious money on a new engine harness, they decided to not have a driver side fog light. Hopefully I can find the wire and splice into it. I found the connector that was missing on a website. Anyone have experience with replacing fog light wiring?

personally I'd stick at 6000k. Seems to be the sweet spot for looks and visibility. Does depend slightly on what brand you're getting...
HR.com has some pretty good photos of different temps
