Default need some help deciding and pic request also please

a guy is selling some bosch HID kits in my area and both my headlights are out so i was thinking about getting a set. he has 3000k, 4300k and 6000k. i have a 00 yellow itr. i was wanting which temp would be the best to go with and would the yellow 3000k on a yellow itr look ok? any pics of these temps on a R or yellow R would be great.

thanks

you'll want to go with the 4300k, this will give you a crisp white light. What headlights do you have JDM or USDM? Are you planning on switching projectors or using stock ones?

I have the Katz 4300 PnP kit, it's been on the caR for years...
I don't care if the tsx retro is better or not, this is not a debate
But If I had to do it all over again I would do the same.

here is some older pics I have...
they are already hosted so follow the link

In this picture as for all on the link, I have 100wt yellow highbeems...

Don't let the stock projectors fool ya... they do work well IF you set them up right.

4300k is the perfect temp, its the peak of where the brighness and color cross, there the brightest cleanest light, with the best pure white, anything above 4300k the brightness/lightout output goes down, the color goes up, blue, purple etc


and trust me 4300k will look nothing like your stock headlights, iv got jdm itr hid headlights with the oem hids, 4300k, and there amazing, super bright, pure bright white, with a tinge of blue, amazing light output, can see freakin everything
