Default Any luck with the password jdm bi-xenon HID's?

Are the password jdm HID's really worth the money or should I check into another company? I want something that is super bright for a 10000k and the durablity to last a long time.

10000k isnt bright.. if you want something good then go with a retrofit and use 4300k bulbs.. that'll get you the most usable light and wont blind anyone..

I understand 10000k isn't the brightness of the bulb, it is the color. Thanks for the info! I just seen the same hid kit at www.ddmtuning.com for alot cheaper. My buddy said to get the 55w instead of the 35w.

as you go higher than 4300k, you lose brightness.. thats what i meant.. you wont see much if you go 10,000k..

dont go 55w you will glare even more than 35w.. like i said, if you want the best output then go retrofit..

i just want to add on to what GLOBE AUTOWERKS said.

55w or 35w. you should be fine with 35w.
also. the quality of hid kits that ddm sales are not as good as they say.
i bought a kit from them a while back and in the first month the ballast stopped working.
and they didnt want to refund my money because i had installed it.
went to globe auto, bought one of their kits and havent had one problem with it.
you should try them out.
if you dont live in san diego they have a website
www.globeautowerks.com

6000k will seem brighter but its not.. you lose lumens as you go higher than 4300k..

I would high beam the **** out of you if you were driving opposite me, looks terrible. Do you guys know why the OEM color is set @4300k? Its closest to the color of daylight.

6k IS NOT BRIGHTER THEN 4300k and if your 4300k have customers unsatisfied the kits its either crap or they just want the "blue" look...
