2008 Si HID

Anyone know what a good HID kit would be for my Si? i was told to go with something in the range of 4300-5000k. I have never done this kind of conversion. Any Suggestions?

Re: 2008 Si HID

I have a 5000k set in my '10 Civic SI and I chose that color temp because it's the clearest white light. I had an issue with one of the ballasts recently and am now switching to a 6000k set.

The 6000k has more of a blue tint to it. They usually call it Crystal Blue.

The 4300k is more towards the yellowish light end of the spectrum so it is a white light but favors towards the yellow side of things.

I'd suggest 5000k for a pure white color or 6000k for the blue tint which is what most people have.

Here's an image of the diff light temps:
