HID Question??
I was chillin with my friends and a Benz S 600 pulled up and it had the best looking HID lights I have evr seen, and i want to get HID's just like that, HOw could I find out what the color of the headlights measure on the Kelvin Scale. Because i Know you buy the HID conversion and you can choose what Kelvin you want (EX. 7000k-12000k), I want to know what it is so i can buy it. If any one can help me out or steer me in the right direction

If you wanna get them just like the Benz, then you're gonna have to do a whole conversion... you're gonna have to buy the projectors and retro-fit them in, which will involve cutting and JB Welding.. after that then you need to get the HID kit.... OEM Hid run usually at 4000K - 4300K.
Do NOT get anything over 6000K... it's just wasted light, becuase your eyes can't see that high in the color spectrum. the HID that will give off the most light are the kits that run at 4100K - 4300K.. those are the brightest and whitest.
