says 9003 in there- that's DOT. most people call this the H4 (which is European). 9003=H4.

i have 8000k and they are bright as hell. be careful because they can blind other drivers easily...especially with the ek housing.

6000k MAX. About 5000k will be nice bright white with only a hint of blue, IMHO the perfect light.

no more then 6000k. 4300k is the brightest, your 8000k 10000k put less light all they have is more color, its also known as ricer blue, keep in mind you WILL actract alot of attention to your self.

i have 6000ks in my car, i like them alot, really white with just a tiny bit of blue.
