My New H.i.d. Kit...must See!!
I bought this kit on Ebay for $400, and it is Hi/Low beam. One of the best things I have bought so far. Check It Out...Honestly over 3 times brighter!!

I will when I can. The kit is 6000k, and it is made by mcculloch. It is much brighter, and much easier to see at night. What more can you ask for? They look a lot more blue in the picture then in real life. I know the housings were not meant for H.I.D. blah blah blah, but who the hell cares! It is brighter, and I think we could all use them. I live in an area that has tons of deer, and huge pot holes. It makes it a lot easier to see. Looks very nice too!

I would point them lower than they are now 'cause you will most likely blind people on the road since they are so bright...don't want to attract any undue attention (cops).

Glare does not equal brightness.
12,000 K HIDs produce LESS lumens than a 4600 K kit. <===FACT
They might seem brighter b/c of the terrible light pattern.
They will be brighter than ANY regular (filament bulb), but they will also PRODUCE ALOT of glare b/c the stock headlight housing is not meant for a HID bulb.
I have a set of HIDs sitting in the garage not being used b/c of the amount of glare produced even when PERFECTLY aimed.

the higher K the more glare you will have
4300K will be best and a great light output and a decent cutoff
8000K when the light gets real blue it really scatters the light, tons of glare
i couldnt imagine 12K probally looks "cool" and brighter then stock
if your doing it for looks giver, but if u really wanna upgrade your lighting then get some lower K ones
plus driving with a higher K really strains your eyes
