#79793 I took my HID kit out the other day, sick of the BS. The only way I could get mine to work correctly, was to put them on then start the car.

If I started the car first, then put them on, they would wig wag like a Police car.

brightest 4300k, whitest 5000k, higher you go the more blue they get, and the lower the light output gets

IMO 4300k is the only way to go.

#80002 Holly, your 4300's are closer to 5000's you remember mine when i first got em? they were almost yellow, and gave me a headache cause i wasn't use to the brightness :lol:


And anyone getting HID's be forewarned, after prolonged use you will get an addiction and not be able to go back to halogen :thumb:

#80071 i thought hids in an oem headlight would just throw light everywhere and not in a concentrated area. and because of that i thought thats why people retrofit their headlights
