I wanty to buy an HID kit for my 99 camry. I was looking at the 10,000K but i was told that its to high of brightness. Any suggestions?
Untrue, plain and simple. Good thing you asked 10,000K is the temperature of the filament inside the bulb. As a general rule, the higher you go in filament temperature, the lower the amount of useable light you get. The best HID kit to pick is 4300K HID (hyper white) and the next best is 5000K (white with a tinge of blue). With a 10,000K kit, you will get a violet color with little to no useable light. 10,000K HIDs are usually used for show purposes but not for regular everyday driving. My advice, go with a high quality 4300K HID kit. MODEXPRESS has a sale going on for 80$ last time I checked You should be able to find them in the classified section here. Good luck!

thank you, what about 8000k? i want a nice bluish/purple color like the HIDs that come stock on newer cars. Also, i want high and low beams, i know when converting to HIDs sometimes you only get the low beam.

Gen 3.5 Depo's + 5000K HID kit
This is the HID kit I currently have in my car. It is a 5000K HID kit, is it sorta like what you are looking for? Just ignore the output pictures because I have made adjustments to eliminate hotspots and increase projection distance and simply didn't update the pictures... The point I'm trying to get across is the color...

You could go 8000k if you want to, but only if you don't get eye fatigue later on. 4300-6000K would be the best for light output. Oh and the bluish/purple effect you see on newer cars like Acuras and BMWs, more than likely it's the projectors that are causing that look.
4300K is the name of the color
4300K is like ur day light white colour
6000k is diamond white with a tiny hint of blue or really really crisp white
8000k is noticeably blue..like xenon blue
3000k is hyper yellow some advertise as 2500k
any other color is stupid and not really practical..even 8000k will get u trouble with cops
