maybe its because im from the city of angels but i would seriously rock a matt black evo no wing and the 12k pink head lights. yes after the engine was built but dont think that would look bad at all.

8000k looks the best imo although i know it doesnt look as bright as 6000k. 12000k is just ridiculous.

True , i actually run a personal business selling Hid's locally and what most people buy is 10k . I would never run anything higher than 8k myself . Anything above 8k looks to cheap to me .

i have 6K on my Lancer and 8K on my Se-R, i like the 6K better.
both are blue.
not too big of a difference.

i've heard of Euro guys running 22-24K.

the shop i get my HID's form says its common in the Euro world.
why you would get a Kelvin rating that high? hellifikno.

Sad: 12K HID, 10K HID, & 8K HID.................

Since when has automotive lighting become something stylish instead of a functional item?


Stick with OEM temperature bulbs or upgrade your projectors if you want that "cool" blue cutoff.
