6000k and you can get them from ddmtuning for a good price. I've had their hid kits in my 370z, ZX6r and have them waiting to go into my Evo, never had issues with them.

Hids in a stock housing isnt really a good idea because of the glare it gives off. The only way to use hids is with projectors. Theres a guy around here with a balt and he has hids in the stock housing and it damn near blinds ya on low beam.

Yeah I know, still another like 50$ though to replace the fog lights and head lights. I'll see how they look when I install them I suppose. Hard to decide unless you see them in person, wish I could have seen both side by side in real life haha.
