Yes, I saw that also, there is actually a dual-beam setup kit from Hella/Osram also. Thus, it would be a "correct" H4 application, maintaining both low and high beams. I had actually polled to see who may be interested in CMPL, but no one really responded. The auctioner, ncytperformance, said that their cost is $450, for any application.

Does that mean you can't use this for our 9006?

Oh no, they have both the 9006 AND H4 kits separately.

SO the 7000K 9006 kit would be good for our low beams alone then?

What were you saying about dual beams? Lets talk on AOL IM. I'm speeedemn.

But seems like this is the best kit out there... 7000K sounds insane! Also it is brandname... Hella/Orasm... but did you verify that? Do any research while you were talking to that guy?

I think this is a marketing catch more than anything.

When the color reaches up to 6000k+, it's very difficult to identify which light is whiter. They're using this as a selling point that it's even whiter than 6000K so people will want to buy it. In fact there isn't much difference at all.

When you look at my 6000K HID you will know what I mean.

Je suis d'accord...I hope that's correct french. Someone from CMPL said that his friend bought one for a '01 Accord, and they were "blue." When it rained, the lights didn't help.
