HID Conversion Kits

I was hoping to buy a new hid conversion kit but I am not sure what colour looks good on my car. Any advice?

factory color is 4300K. If you want a factory look, go with that one. I have always went with 6000K or 8000K for a nice slight blue color.

i picked up 5000k and it looks like it would be a factory install...

6000 looked a little too blue and 8000 was just over the top blue

5000k seems to match my white LED city lights almost 99.9% perfectly

i picked mine up with lifetime warranty and slim ballasts for $95!

Not sure if you did the HID conversion kit, but I recently did this in my 996. I wrote up a how to with some before and after pictures of the lights. I bought the 6000K and they are awesome at night. Hope this helps.

I did a 6000 kit and it was great. Seemed like the color was a little blue but I think Litronics are a little blue.

+1. 6000K FTW. Do not go anything higher Kelvin than 6000K. You will lose brightness and have too much blue/purple.
