If I was a Cop I would pull over every darn person with 6k or more!!! HATE THEM!

LOL, My 2 cents.
your YD? how are they annoying? and dont say cause they're brighter, cause from 6k up they just start losing light output. its just a different color. you're pretty much hating on everyone on this whole site, cause we practically all have 6k or more lol

The color Hurts my eyes, The brightness of them hurts my eyes, the scatterd light hurts my eyes! the fact most ppl get the 55watt systems to compensate for the lack of light due to the high Kelvin HURTS MY EYES! now throw in a stream of 7 vehicals in a 3 mile road and by the time I get past them I have a frikin headache and seeing spots!
Some ppl I literally have to look to the side of the road a 1/4 mile from them.

35watt 4300-5k WITHOUT projectors is acceptable. but still annoys the hell out of me.
55watt 6-12k Without projectors is ******* rediculous!

35watt 5-6k with projectors is perfect
55watt 4500-5k with projectors is beautiful.

If its hating on some of you guys cause you run these combos, so be it.
Theres a reason the ***** illeagal in vehicals that didnt come equipped with Projector HID's.

------\edit
Bleh, Sorry for the rant. HID's are a pet peve of mine.
If you guys like what ya got, more power to ya.. they just not for me..

4300 or 5000 is the only way to go. Blue lights belong on a honda. I've got 4300 in my truck and it looks like escalade color, pure white with a very slight purple hint. 5000K in one of my other cars looks a tad more purple, but anything over that is too color soaked for me. Its all personal preference, but I do know it depends on the company you buy them from. The more reputable companies are closer to the correct colors. I've actually seen some 10,000K kits that looks like 6000K that I used to have.....

i have 6000k and i think they look perfect. if your not gonna get atleast 6000k then you mine as well get silverstars and save yourself the time of installing HID's. 6000k is the best for color/light output IMO.
