---- silverstars, for a little more money you can get Cheap HIDs that are way more effective. IMO 4300k is about right, the light is more white than the purple tint that is prefered by the ricer community.

This is almost what my car has. I actually have a little dial that I can spin to raise or lower the beam level to keep from whacking people in oncoming traffic. Once and a while with the fogs on too I still get the "warning flash" from other drivers thinking I have my high beams on, one quick flip to show 'em the highs usually takes care of that and has them swerving.

I got a set of 5000k real ones for 120 bucks and i could see clearly. Slight blue tint too.... some of those silverstar bulbs are ------- expensive.

Re: Headlight Bulbs.....a ricerish question...

the reason why hids get a bad wrap is because many people either don't aim them right or use a housing that is not designed for the bulb thereby producing excessive glare. 4300 to 6000k is about right for light output....anything more is ricerish and actually degrades the amount of light.
