I have 12000 I'd post pics but it won't do it justice since it'll look more blue than purplish blue :P

Where did you get 4500?

Personally I like 4300 but could be convinced to go up to 4500 maximum. Pics?

I personally like 6000k for the balance of look and output.

I did 4300k lows and 3000k hid fogs on my volvo.

wow, this thread was a DIG on someone. I'd love something in the 4300-5100K range, but I'd also like to mod my lights for quad projectors

I was actually considering diggin aroun in junkyards for some Chrysler Concorde lights and ripping the projector lens out. I'd still like to keep the true HID/Xenon transformers and stuff though i know both is not always feasible. I'm a sucker for the pretty coloration but i DEMAND light output, so it seems like i should keep my stockers. anyone got 9300K like my monitor settings?

to look at? 8k

to drive with? 4300

so let's see, i usually drive the car and not run in front of it at night backwards so i can look, therefore i would go with 4300

I just bought Mculloch 10000k and I'll admit I got them because of the color and not the output.

5000K is pretty good for me but I tend to like the stock look.

4300k the projector is what makes the most difference and cleanest color. For example, from my recollection tsx's run on 4300k and have some of the most brillant blue I have seen in a car's headlights. Those stanley projectors do the job.

anyone know approximate lumens for 4300k vs 5000K? It may be the best compromise between K and lumens.
