Re: HID (01gizzer)
I know of OSRAM and Philips are good. The purple color HID are AWESOME but I don't know exactly how to tell what temperature (IE: 5000k, 7000k, 8000k) it is to produce a PURPLISH COLOR!!! DOes anyone know?

Re: HID (NestleCrunch)
6000k and above creates purplish tint and not worth it imo. but some people get hids purely for looks so can't argue there. 
good companies would be: philips and CATZ. be careful because some so called "philips hid kits" aren't true philips.

Re: HID (01gizzer)
Anything above 4300K is retarded in my opinion. You pay more for a supposed "upgrade" (higher color temp) but you end up getting less light. You pay extra for a different look and reduced performance. You make the choice.
And no matter what you may think about the color of BMW or Audi HID's, the color is solely a result of the projector/reflector optics. They all use 4100-4300K bulbs.
