Everyone told me that once you go above 6000k the light output starts to decrease. I got a great deal on a set of HID's for my lowbeams. I'm doing the fogs later on this month. Also the 6000k will look good with your AE's. farhod 09-12-2007, 03:33 AM whats the difference between the wattages? what does that effect? this was the kit i was going to get or apexcone from a friend on another forum who does business with them for 130 for a 8000k kit http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pilot-HID-Conversion-Kit-8000k-H1-H3-H4-H11-Japan-Made_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ36476QQihZ012QQite mZ220148065262QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW farhod 09-12-2007, 03:36 AM nevermind just bought a 8000k apex cone kit on ebay for a incredible price haha 69 dolllazzzzz mahmudb 09-12-2007, 03:41 AM Damn son!

The bluer you go the harder it is to see...especially when it's raining. mookish 09-13-2007, 02:34 PM Mookish, by look good do you mean they look cool, or are you saying that light output is good and maybe even on par with factory bmw xenons??? The bluer you go the harder it is to see...especially when it's raining.Not good/cool, good as in not too blue. I hate that blue look. It does have a tint to it. I say 6-8K is ok, less than 6K is too yellow for me and higher than 8K looks ricey. http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showpost.php?p=8075803&postcount=31 hecuter 09-13-2007, 03:59 PM Habbie you have any crazy deals on HIDs right now?
