---- HID kits, if its not original it will work and look like complete ass ... I speak from experience :X
I replaced my 10k HID kit with some Philips X-treme H4 bulbs and I can actually see the road now.
I wouldnt go over 5600k or you lose visibility

I hate seeing my shadow in front of my car because the person behind me with HIDs lights go further than my headlights in front of me.

fake HID's are gay and annoying for on coming drivers. They do help with lighting, but not much.

Do a hid projector retrofit. More expensive, but the results are worth it, imo. Lighting is phenomenal, even with the cheapest projectors. They aren't annoying because hid projectors come stock on a lot of new cars.

If you do get fake hids, don't go about 6k. ANything above gives you a gay color and lighting becomes horrible.

8k hid's is blue. You want optimum visibility, get 4300K. If you want a hint of blue/white, get 5000K. 5000K is the highest I would go.

i have 4300K in my car and my brother has 5000K, he's been driving my car for a little while now and said mine light up the road better.

I think the lowest is like 3000K which is jDM yellow and doesn't shie for ----, it's like a 10000K

Yellow would be cool, but you're saying they suck? I want some blue in it, but I see some places sell bulbs that make them green, yellow, blue, red, purple....what's up with that?
