Mouse you know 6,000K is brighter than 8,000K right?

Yes I do, but it'* the same color that cars that come with HID'* have. It'* not the brightness that people hate. It'* the odd colors that are hard on the eyes and people not aiming them right that people don't like.

then im sold on getting the hid kit...... im not doing it for looks , actually the benefits , i work at an auto parts store and i tried all the lights that are out there halogens, cool blues, silverstars, and silver star ultras, and i really didnt like em... i know what mouse means by the annoying glare they give, when i had my 90 300zx twin turbo... i had hid'* on it but i had to adjust the headlights so that they are not aimed to high to the point its blinds oncoming cars....when i get them for my pontiac ima adjust them so it wont blind anyone...i like the 12k purple but the 8k blue looks better...

i was under the impression that 5000k was the brightest and whitest you could get

5000k is the brightest usable light. You are correct. Most HIDs start at 6000k though, don't know why.

I really like 5000k, I have them on both my cars. It provides good usable light, and (to me) looks just like a factory HID equipped car when approaching. But you guys are right, 5000k isn't easy to find, not everyone carries it. A lot of companies skip straight from 4300k to 6000k. 6000k and up is too blue for my tastes, 4300k isn't blue enough.

i was just looking for a HID thread lol i plan on the 6ks cuz ive heard from a few that lawenforcment will pull over people with colored lighting. i just dont want the hassle of gettin stopped lol

Yes, in a lot of locales the really blue or purple lights are illegal. 6000k is the best bet when getting HIDs.

In a lot of places any aftemarket HID kits are illegal but it depends on the state, in Ohio its illegal but in Indiana its legal

i chatted with a guy from futurevision HID and he said their bulbs run cooler than original stock halogens hahaa good to hear lol
