the numbers are for the bulb color. 4300k has the best light output. go with those.

the person above posted pics of the hardcore retrofit with the correct HID lenses. that'll cost you a bit more

lotsa info online about it too. just google it

If you have an H4 housing and thinking of gettting HID's for them, you're going to have a **** load of glare and blind the hell out of people. Stick w/ halogens unless you do a projector retrofit.

Theres a thread on here about Phillips "Xtreme power" halogen bulbs. I think it will suit your needs for lighting.

halogen projectors are NOT meant to be used with hid

Well, if they are after market projector headlights, the ouput of lights from a HID bulb will be better than a halogen...but it doesn't compare that well to a retrofitted projector.

Theres a thread on this also, about someone putting HID plug and play kit into an aftermarket...look into it before you buy.

that depends on what projectors are being used.
For instance the halogen evo and impreza wrx support HID's...
but for better performance, what you want is a true HID projector.
