blue = about 8k...ish...

anything more is pink or purple, i think. cheesenip has them.

even then, the light output won't be as good anymore. if you're more concerned about looks than light, you might as well get your angel eyes.

6k ftw! 8k if you want more blue...

p.s. you have to adjust your headlights afterwards.

Thanks so much g3girl !! i read the thread and i saw u got 6000k, they look pretty nice. I want a more bluish look, like the bmw ones. but what do u mean about getting them adjusted afterwards? if i get them installed ima get them done at my garage, so do i still have to worry about it?>

^If your car didn't come equipped with HIDs (which it didn't), it's technically illegal to get them for on-road use. Cops here don't care much about that, as long as it's not obnoxious and blinding other drivers.

^If you're talking about BMW factory HIDs, you're looking at about 4100-4300K. I can't remember off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure it's 4300K. You said you want a more "bluish look, like the BMW ones." Bluish compared to halogen bulbs or bluish compared to factory HIDs?

My brother has 6000K in his 5-Series and it looks pretty damn blue compared to other cars on the road. You have to take into consideration the optics of the light itself, too. BMWs use a projector lense that emits a much clearer and a bluer light (from some angles) even if they're running 4300K. It has to do with the way the light is reflected in the projector itself. Read up on it a little bit. You'll learn stuff.

P.S. It doesn't matter where you get them installed. lol You're just going to need a level surface, a wall, and about 25' of distance between your car and the wall when you're adjusting the headlights. :thumbs up

honestly i think ima stick to this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/XENON-HID-98-01-ACURA-INTEGRA-HALO-PROJECTOR-HEADLIGHTS_W0QQitemZ160227694835QQcmdZViewItem
i have the 6000k hid and the halo's i wanted. I trust u g3girl with the 6000k :p i think ur right its much nicer!
:thumbup: Good choice on the 6000K. 8000K is so ricey even BMW owners don't use them...lol ;) (I'll probably get shit from someone on here for that lol)

ahh thats true ur right i didnt think about that. ok so i'll stick to 6000k. people are telling me not to get the one on ebay (hid+angeleyes) because apparently the HID isnt of best quality and will die in less thank 6 months. gg. So i guess i'll just get the HIDs :p
