4300 is the brightest
closely followed by 6k.

after that the colors get really sexy
and the light output gets worse and worse.

Are you sure? They look bright as ****! Well they're only $40.00 so if they're not that good I can get the others.

Thanks for the heads up tho. And are you sure?

consider getting some 4.3k and using some form of filter/tint to create the effect?

i just order 6k!!! hopefully have them by Thur.

I agree w/ an0malous, go with 4k or 6k, since you want to avoid the blue tint...

also, i believe that link is for BULBS only, not the entire kit

Scyth Snake sent them to me for being such a nice guy to everyone. And for helping him out with his car, I think. I honestly don't really know why he decided to send them but he did. I started like 3 threads for him and Wasey fucked each one up by coming in and starting his **** and they got locked by the mods.

Go rep Snake right now!
