i say **** it get 10k
i got 10k's the day after i almost hit a deer on the magazine hill and smashed my car aimed them a bit higher then stock now i see deer eyes a mile ahead of me so plenty of time to stop or get outta the way!
people will rip about them blinding other drivers but honestly dont give a rats ass cause theres so many that do it and im not risking a deer again, but i do plan to retro fit projectors in it for when i drive it again

why go 10k and **** people off when you can go 6000k, **** less people off and still see the deer?

6000K (still need to aim my headlights higher)




8000k


6000k is the best imo, get the best light output and it doesnt **** off as many people as 10k. I bought a 6000k bulb which will be replacing the 8000k thats in my bike now. There is no need for anything higher, you arent going to see any better and it just pisses people off.

The car is 6000k for both headlight and fogs. The bike will have 6000k in the low beam and 8000k in the highbeam. I didnt bother buying a 2nd bulb since i rarely use my high beam.

Still torn between 5k and 6k... I'll have to install my hids as soon as I get my Gen4s and see what's what.
