7000k halogen bulbs, you won't be able to see very well at night. If you want some really nice bright bulbs go with Philips Crystalvision's. I have them and I am VERY impressed.

luminics' high beams burn out quick, but if you want a nice blueish light, they'll give you that.. if you can handle not ever using your brights... went thru 2 sets now...

silverstar looks a little whiter than stock, thats what im rockin now. still have high beams, have been in for about 2 months now. but you cant tell much of a difference between them and factory bulbs, IMO, not worth the $50.

never tried the other ones.

I went with 65/55 wattage b/c I don't want to fry any factory wiring. I have silverstar Ultra Whitest (HID look, or so it says) I bought the SilverStar ultras (not the whitest) and they don't have the bluest hue you want. Neither do mine... which sucks. But I have seen pictures of the Nokya and they might have the right hue of white/blue you want. I would find some pictures. If you want to see the ones I have I can go snap a picture...

I don't know about the kits you are using, but most people throw Hids in OEM lights and blind the **** out of everyone. Everyone knows HID are by far and in many ways better. But to correctly do hids, one has to spend more than $50 or even $100, if one doesn't have connects.

i dont know.. i passed a few cars with hids without a retrofit or anything.. and wow i think i was seein spots for the next 5 miles.. if ur goin to go with hids do it the right way.. and the right way is goin to cost you ATLEAST $200

edit.. if the inner part where the light reflects off is also painted black it might not be as bad.. cant tell in ur pics though.
