Default HID Color?

Hi guys, previously I've had 8000k HIDs on my accord. Now one of them died and I'm thinking of which color to buy and decided to ask community. It's a silver 2005 accord 4 door. Thanks for you input

Personally, 8000K is the maximum I would go for any HID setup. Had them on my DC2 teggy and just like in your case, one burnt out so I changed to 6000K couldn't be any happier. I attached a picture of my Integra (compared it to the factory HID of a ML-class Benzo my coworker had). Pure white light, cops never bother me, and its both form and hella functional. However to each their own because everyone has different tastes/preferences. Good luck in your final choice and for better results, make a poll of the different choices!

Thanks for reply, I decided to go with 8000k as I think it looks better on silver car and I like how they're white-ish blue.

I do have HIDs. My taste is closer to "yellow" instead of "blue" because I like people say "I didn't know Accords came with HID?"

Instead of.."So you installed some aftermarket lights?"

So it depends on the kind of attention you want.

8000K can give off that fake blue ricer look if the quality isn't there.
