Bullshit, have you ever seen 6-7 k ? It's in that picture. 10k is more purple, useless and not as bright as true HID blue.

I wouldn't run HID's on my car seeing as the light output is complete **** ! and it can really make it hard for the person in front of you to see or oncoming traffic. Sure it looks cool but completely useless.

My hid kit I got on eBay for $35 from xentec or whatever. Never had an issue for 1.5 years. Replaced headlights totally and haven't used em since.

OK so the reason 8k~10k **** ppl of is 95% of the dumb *** who use them don't re-adjust there headlights after installing them.

When simply installing HID bulb in a halogen housing the focus point is not the same as it is in housings made for HID.
Fact is HID's should be in a projector style housing meant for HID's

I don't believe that color temp chart is correct. I've always seen that 4500K is the purest white and brightest that you can get.
