I got me some, and they are the shizznit! El cheapo Chinese ebay scores! 6000k's in the low beams and 4300k's in the highs. The 6000k's are a nice faint purplish color and quite bright. The 4300k's are a kinda gross greenish yellow color, but they're crazy bright. Got the hi 4 mod done of course, and if I'm making a long trip, I actually try to work it so it's done at night because the HIDs make it so nice to drive. My Chick doesn't have the best depth perception in the dark, but she doesn't mind driving the truck at night now. Get some, they rock.

eBay all the way, I have 6000K for my low beams, I want to get 6000K for my high and 4300K yellow for my fog light. LOVE THEM! Now that I have gotten HID I will always get them for any car or truck that I will own.

ebay cheapies, no problems after I switched the plug over to fix the polarity.
8000K and I like the color. Nice and bright and mine dont have to much blue, which I didnt want. No need for brights, except to resemble a fukn train.
