HID headlights, help with colours?

[turbovanman²]

Looking at kits, basically for me in the future and my customers now. I see that 4300K is the whitest, followed by 5000k, 6000K and then they go purple from there. I have been clicking around and they say 4300 is the closest to sunlight but clicking on one websites pics, the 6000 seemed brighter. Due to info etc, I am opting to get the 4300 for him. Anyone have any input??

6000K are the ones that come standard on BMW's, Mercedes, etc.

Hopefully that helps you for reference.

Chrysler 300's use 4200k

I was told Merc and Porches use 4300?

Hmmm..

I was looking for a set of HID's for my truck. I had a fairly involved conversation with the store I was looking to buy these off of.

I asked him what would be comparable to the HID's I had on my BMW 330i. He said BMW's and Mercedes come stock with 6000K (the new cars).

SO, I took it at face value, but then again maybe he didn't know what he was talking about anyhow. And I never did buy the HID set up for the truck. LOL

Simon - I do still want to convert my truck to HID. If you get a good deal, I'll buy a set off ya!

Hmmmmmmm, the guy I found uses Osram ballasts, which are good stuff and a 18month warranty. I might become a seller of these kits, he's selling them at a pretty good deal. Hows $165 plus shipping? What bulb do you want and colour, I am going to order them today or tomorrow.

Think I am going to go with the 4300 K.

my brother has 8200k on his maxima and they are alittle blue not crazy

I would go with 6k for a white light.

I plan to go with 8k on my spirit since it isn't a daily driver and maybe put 6k on my jetta only because I drive 30k a yr with itl.

4300-6000K are white but 8000K is going to the purple colour. Decisions decisions?

don't forget to get a bulb that works in a non projector headlamp, as some require a projector headlamp without it will look like butt.
