4300k is the best for HIDs. 5000k can do fine. 6000k is border line and anything above that is useless and, IMO, looks ridiculous.

get the 8k looks a lot nicer, unless you want the ultra white light

i concur for the most part..

i have 6ks in mine.. (personally there isn't a HUGE difference between 4300 and 6000k to me )and unless you're doing projectors 8k or above is just dumb .. they defeat the purpose of getting HIDS (as the lumen output is decreased) and they will just be putting off more color.. which while they might look awesome to you .. are ANNOYING AS SHIT when they come at you and they're not in the proper housing.. 8k in projectors is your personal choice as it gives nice color but doesn't blind the shit out of everyone else

And personally...I have the 8k cause they match the switchbacks, so it looks like they belong together.

HID's from
DDMtuning.com
or
Diodedynamics.com


I prefer 5000K, i like the perfectly white light, just don't go over 6000K. 6000 is good if you want a bluish tint

Get 12k, they look sexy!! Lol

What part of Oregon are you from? I'm in the Clackamas area.

Thx for all the help


So anything from 4300k to about 5500k is the best way to go.

SubtleStyle- 132nd and sunnyside lol

Nice, I work at the Town Center and live in Oregon City. I met a guy who says they have a big meet sometime in the Spring. Gonna be a lot of Hyundai's and Kia's there if you wanna show up. I'll PM you more about it when I know more about it.

About your questions on HID's: I went with a 5000k DDM Tuning kit and couldn't be happier. It's almost a pure white color with just a hint of blue in there. The price was really good and I haven't had any problems with them in the six or seven months I've had them.

On the Diode Dynamics website it askes for what size. Which size should i choose? The default choice is H4 HID low, Halogen High...Is that what i need? Sorry i'm very noob when it comes to this stuff

 

[SubtleStyle]

I did this so long ago but I believe the bulb size for our lows is H11b (Can someone confirm?). Are you trying to convert to HID's for your lows, highs, fogs or all of them?

 

[(K)illed (I)n (A)ction]

It calls for h11b, but they only sell h11's. Same bulb, don't get the high beams in. It's useless unless you drive around with your highs on all day.
