4300k, 5000k, 6000k, 8000k...wow

well i already have a HIDD2S 4300k stock bulbs for my low beam and i got my 6000k angel eye kit installed....
now should i get replacement bulbs for my low beam as 6000k to match it up or get it 5000k so the angel eye would show out a little bit more? o_O

im getting 6000k HID conversion kit for my fogs...

edit : i see on Ebay that some 6000k HID-D2S (white bulbs not blue ones) are ranged from $70 to $120....is there a difference?

Quality is usually not as good. There are a couple really good manufacturers that are worth the extra money. Unfortunately, I can't recall them right now. Sorry.

I'm sure there are others that can fill in the blanks.

We are offering 6000k D2S bulbs for 139.99 on our website, this is $20 off retail!

Did I mention these come with a full lifetime warranty?

hey bmwerken, yea im considering to buy those bulbs off your website since it looks legit compared to the ebay lurkers....
anyways, i just submitted a question on Jlevisw.com regarding my 03 headlights...
are 2003 headlights considered hard to open since it uses the baking method or is it hard even if i baked it....
thanks!

The link you posted looks legit, but the light output certainly won't be white. The purest white is in the 4300 to 4500 K range. 6000K will look very blue, and will lack intensity. I changed my lamps to 5300K a while back and hated them because it made it too difficult to see the road at night, so I went back to the originals. 6000K would be even worse. If you want your fogs to match your headlamps, get bulbs in the 4300 to 4500 range.

Like Nick said - ours are $139, but they are worth the money with a lifetime warranty

Thanks
