Default HID COMPANIES

hello everyone do hid companies really matter..? phillips,osram, mcculoch... or what about those regular no name ones?
im thinking about putting 6000K bulbs on my car... becuase i cant find any in the 5xxxK... and 5000K is too close to stock.
where did you guys buy your bulbs any good stores? im looking for 5400k becuase i have seen alot of s4's with it and it looks bright/blueish... but i cant find any... please help

don't expect results using stock ballasts and upgraded bulbs. Get the 50w upgrade from supreme power parts with 6000k bulbs, thats waht i did when one of my ballasts went to **** and the color is awesome and still great visibility.

I just saw some ridiculous HID on a POS sentra w/ a fart can. His HID's seriously dominated the light output of my stock xenons. I still think mine look good, but possibly thinking about upgrading in the future..


What is everyone else running for aftermarket lights (except for euro clears).

They certainly do!

Philips did most of the development work for HIDs witha bit of co - help from Osram, the HIDs from Hella are made by Philips

So Philips/Hella HIDs are the best by a bit then Osram and then GE

There is a Jap barnd called VesTech which arent bad either & u wont notice any really diff b/w u stock 4300K and new 5000K unless u stock HIDs are really old

Audi uses 4300K, BWM uses 4500K and MB uses 4900K

What do Evo or STI HID's burn at? My HID's are bright, but they aren't nearly as bright as newer model cars. Thinking about getting Euro's or upgrading? What do you guys think...
