Hi everyone,
I found this website & I liked the prices for the HID's. But I want to know what you guys think would be the best temperature to get. My friend says to get 6,000k, I wanted 8,000k or 10,000k bulbs but my friend says those will look too blue & more like those stupid Honda Civic's you see with those crappy blue head lights. So, I'm gonna out up a poll & see what you guys think.

You have good friend. I agreed with Peach, go with 5000K.

What brand is the kit? I would go with a name brand one, and 5000K if available. If not, then 4300K, don't go more than 6000K, not good on rainy nights.

Camry1999 · 11-19-2008, 11:16 PM

so, I guess I'll go with the 6,000k because the ones i listed above are the temperatures they have available on the websites. I hod bought 8,500k plug-&-play bulbs that were like $20. I hope these will be brighter than & look a little bluer than what I have now.

**PRINCESS PEACH** · 11-19-2008, 11:28 PM

how much are the prices of the HID kits that you're getting? what company is it?

Dna_splice · 11-19-2008, 11:31 PM

get 5000 if u can. if not then 6000k

i have some cheep ebay ones lol
they were listed as 8000k
and then got worn in and is like 5500k ish ( i know that does not exist but i had to choose a temp for mine it would be 5500 haha =P)
dont go for the cheep stuff haha
name brands are usually worth the price

edit.
this picture is not real either
you can tell they photoshoped it b/c the background colors change with the floor color

so dont relay on this chart so much haha

Camry1999 · 11-19-2008, 11:32 PM

I believe PRINCESS PEACH can give you a good deal on the Xenon-Vision brand.

That's what I have on my car, been working great.

He should give free HIDs to new members, cause he's a vendor now.

Right Peach?!?!

CamrySExxx · 11-19-2008, 11:36 PM

4300k. You get what you pay for so dont expect too much.

**PRINCESS PEACH** · 11-19-2008, 11:39 PM

mhmm. 40 bucks for an HID kit. thats unheard of. why don't u try it out and tell us of the kit afterwards lol.

Agreed. You get what you pay. Some people think they're getting a great deal cuz its cheaper but in the long run, you'll be spending just as much had you bought a more reliable and more expensive product from the start.

If the price is too good, it probably is.

***darksparkz*** · 11-19-2008, 11:52 PM

4300K vote for me:

4300K w/ D2S on left and 5000K w/ D2R on right.

I've got 5000k on my Camry, and I think its perfect. Let us know how the product is, the price seems too good to be true.
