6000K vs 8000K HID for EJ6
Looking for a nice blue light but not too purple... Just perfect
Which kit is for me?
Also is Prolumen a good company for HID?
Anyone got some pics comparing 8000k to 6000k to 4300k

4300K is "perfect", but if you want something more colourful, 6000K is as high as I'd go. And if you haven't already done so, research the issues of using a drop-in HID kit with the stock Civic headlights.

Better headlights?</TD></TR></TABLE>
The ideal solution would be to use true, HID optics. The easiest way to do that is by purchasing OEM HID projectors and installing them into the Civic headlights. It's a project you can do yourself if you're handy with that sort of thing, or you can send out your headlights to have the projectors installed by a shop that specialises in the process. It's also easier if you start out with a set of projector, rather than reflector, headlamp housings.

No one mentioned photos of anything, why were you expecting any?
OP, I highly recommend before you try swapping in HID's to try Phillips brand X-treme bulb.

If you're concerned with poor oem lighting, this should solve any needs you have.
I've had two differen't pnp kits and I prefer that halogen bulb over either pnp kit I had.
