only reason I ask is because I looked at the wiring for the HIDs and it looks so confusing, that is why I had a shop to install it.

You can have whatever opinions you want.
I think blue is played out and green and red are just not that unique.
White is.... well.... boring....



I like raving with purple glowsticks I gues that must mean I'm gay.

And all those people that are going for the purple HID tint like the BMWs and the Lexus's have..... I guess they're gay too.

Heh I guess I just like doing things a little differently. Coz you don't see many cars on the block that have lights like these. imp:

I have no problems with anybody that wants to get over 8000K. It just makes my 4000K only brighter.

that's pretty much exactly what i did.

honda s2000 projectors/4100k bulbs put into '99 civic coupe.....





the rest of the pixs are here.

as for the debate about color temps and what to get, that's pretty much up to the individual person..... some like more color, and some like more light. i choose the best of both worlds, oem hid. whatever color temperature you get, make sure you've seen that kit or similar color temperature in person since camera do not always capture color properly.



^ an example of what i mean. both are the exact same lights (4100k) , the only difference is the camera exposesure and settings.

Wow, i didn't know 8000k came on cars now. but $1300 for the headlamps, bulbs, and ballast sounds about right for some cars.
