That is probably true but honestly there is not that much of a difference between 6k and 8k. At least with Visions kits.

I had the 6k but I am no longer running HIDs. I would say 4300 or 6000 is the best hands down for lighting. Going any higher is a waste in my opinion.

I have 6000ks in now and they're not bad.
I'm selling my 10000k HID kit though if anyone wants it. They look great.

6000k is good for the headlight, looks and a still white, good lumen output
4300k is good for the fogs, white and best lumen output
I would go 4300k for both if your in the country for optimal light. In the city I would go 6000k, for looks and good output
and no i dont have HID'd yet, just the research that I have done

QF-MF-T!!!!
I'm glad that people are starting to understand that projectors are not only safer, but far better quality of light.

As far as the color... it looks like I'm the only one with 4300K...
I love my sleeper look.... pure white goodness!

6k look the best IMO and aren't too blue. Anyone have 4300k HIDS? Do they have any blue tint to them? pretty sure they will be white.

Do not have them waiting for my kit to come in the mail but I got 6000k HID. My vision is not the best so it's the best choice for me and went with 6000k over 4300k cuz I like the sexy blue tint but still nice and bright.
