anything over 6K just gets worse and worse. sadly the majority of HID kits are 8000 - 12000 Kelvin, look like absolute ass, and is equivalent to buying an overpriced APC bulb with a fancy "ballast".
All i'll ever buy is a superbright white kit if anything.


I'll wait till i get the Z32 and then get some sort of projector-type conversion kit in there or something... I love having bright headlights -- NOT to blind people (always spend a lot of time lowering and adjusting my lights so it never gets in people's eyes)
