Kurisutaira Godlike Advisor	ok well i been contemplateing about this for sometime now. im curious as far as wat to look for in the HIDs as far as wich set to get (6k-14k) is there one kit thats a differnt color? i seen some being a blue ish and some being a purple. and also if i were to get a set of red angel eyes wuld my HID's over power the red completly or wuld i be looking at a pink set up? but mostly over all i wanna get peoples opinion as far as wich set is better i seen alot of 8k's but i read on here i think some1 complaining how the visibility was somewat poor. so ya'll let me know. this is something im just doing research on before i head off to bed.

andino Manhattan Beach California, US Godlike Advisor	12000k is very blue with purple...probably almost full purple. if you're looking for blue with a hint of purple you're looking at 8000k HIDs. if you have red CCFL halos then they may look pink in the light of the HIDs. i have 6000k HIDs and white halos and the color is still vivid even with my HIDs on Are you in SoCal?

andino Manhattan Beach California, US Godlike Advisor	the higher kelvin rating you go, the lower the visible lumen output you get. 6000k is the best mix between looks and performance(lumens wise). also if you live where it rains a lot, higher kelvin HIDs will make it harder to see through the rain if it's heavy Are you in SoCal?

Kurisutaira Godlike Advisor	lol and if i beleived in coincidences i wuld consider this one but the thread for the HID's for sale just poped up to the top again but i think by the pics im likeing the 8k blue kit. im thinking after the thanksgiveing holidays i might be putting in an order for them. another question since im too lazy to look it up. how do i install it? if any1 can direct me to a thread with the procedure i wuld greatly appreciate it. or if u can tell me in here then thats even better "This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object"

operatic Houston Texas, US Scion Guru	If you are going with Red Angel Eyes, I almost feel like a 4300k which would be just a white would look the best.

operatic Houston Texas, US Scion Guru	Oh ya as for instructions on how to put in HIDs, this will pretty much give you a good idea of how it all goes in. http://home.comcast.net/~patcourt/instructions/page1.htm

Kurisutaira Godlike Advisor	thanks operatic i was looking at your thread for the HIDS and the 8k looked the best atleast to me i doubt ill be running my red eyes at the same time as the HIDS anyway since they are illegal and ill prolly just run them dureing the day (maybe) but prolly when im just sitting in the parking lot ro wherever "This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object"
