Thanks.
well i started with the 4300K bulsb to match the stock xenons
but they were a little too yellowy
so i switched to 6000K, which looks perfect to me
white with a hint of blue
6000k are not as bright as the 4300K, but since this is not my main beam i don't care so much about brightness
they do put out a lot of glare though
if you look at the OEM bulb , it has a painted top
the HID bulbs don't
so they put out a lot of reflections from the top tip
when i have time i might take out the bulbs and paint or cover the end tip so stop the glare

install was easy for me
as i had already modified my factory wiring to put out 14volts
if you are using the OEM wiring the relays that come with the HID kit won't turn on when your headlights are on

but for sure they look great
better than all the LED kits i have seen
