6000k or 8000k HID kit for facelift....

[Knuckle]

I've had 6000k on 5 previous cars and never had the guts to go for 8000k. Anybody got any pictures of them fitted?

Will be going for a 50w kit from hids direct so will be brighter than a 35w kit

It depends on your confidence level, 8K's scream "aftermarket" and will draw attention to you, even 6K's do look aftermarket in colour and could still get you unwanted attention.

I used to see lots of 8K and even some 10K equipped cars but the majority seem to have swapped to normal / 4300K / 5000K bulbs

I had 8K i when I had my Vectra (and have 8K in my current MG) and love them. Yes they are "aftermarket" looking, but thats what I wanted, didn't want it to look OEM, but they are not too blue at all, some guess and say they are, but they are not, at all.

If you fancy them, go for them.

My profile pic is with 8000k, perfect IMO. Like the very slight hint of blue

mine has 6000K,.. and thinking of dropping to 5000K ... Anyone know if the difference will be noticeable in looking at and also improved vision at night?

Thanks for the input, dont want to get pulled in it so think i'll opt for the 6000k 50w ones.

They are only a couple of quid more than the 35w ones at the moment on hids direct as they have a sale on.
