want input on my new mod.
I just orderd the 6000K McCulloch Hella Xenon HID kit, I got it for 270 shipped after bickering on the price.
Now I know it is to late to change my mind on it because it was orderd on friday but if eneyone has one, or knows about it
can you let me know if it is a good kit, and was it a good choice to go with the 6000k lamps.

well I like the look of the 8000k the most but was told that the higher the k # the less useable light they give off.
That is why I went with 6000k, so I have a little blue tint but also good useable light output.

Temperature:
Color Temperature is a measurement in Degrees Kelvin that indicates the hue of a specific type of light source. Many people believe the misconception that colour temperature is a rating of the brightness of the bulb or HID kit. This belief is completely false. The reality of the matter is that the higher the colour temperature, the less useable light output you will obtain. A perfect example would be a black light. This light has a colour temperature of approx 12,000k and has almost no useable light or lumens output. Higher K kits such as 7000k, 7500k, etc. have been manufactured for individuals that are more concerned about the actual colour output of their lights as opposed to the actual useable light output they produce.

factory is white 4300K so it would give the most usable light, but i hear 5000K is pure white or somehting
but i would still get 6K casue its blue and its alrite, and they look so good
the otheres are bright but theres not alot of usable light casue of the color when u go up in K
