HIDs

I am looking for the Dark Blue HIDs. Are they 8k or 10k? Also where is the cheapest to get them? I want some for my projectors and fogs.

Why?
4300K - 6000k is your best light output, and looks less retarded....

honestly here we go there was another thread but

3000K is golden yellow
4300K is clear with slight blue tint
6000K is slighter blue
8000K is like a crystal blue
10000K is more bluer but may be slight purple
12000K is purple in some kits
20000K is dark blue
30000K is i think pink
35000K is green if im not mistaken

but the larger on the kelvins scale on HIDs, the less light output, thats why people use the 3000K for fog lights

8k is normally pretty blue and 10k is deep blue/purple. I still dont understand why you people are giving up light output for color....

go with 8.
10 is lighter blue, with some purple

go with 6 if you want good quality light output. with a little bit of blue tint that wont draw cop attention.

shop around but there are a few vendors on the site. Search because a lot of places have sale on these bulbs everyonce in a while especially now during down time.

your going to get the normal response from everyone. You get what you pay for. I think it would be luck of the draw on quality. Personally Id spend the money and get good quality long lasting products
