Some of you “dealers” must not understand the “K” portion of the kits,

“K” is NOT how bright they are… just as 10,000 watts doesnt = louder.

^ Yeah, “K” has to do with the color of the lights. Like someone said 4300K is close to stock color (a little yellowed). When you get near 5000K it should be a pure white and 6000K will have a slightly blue tint. Then as you get higher, it goes to a blue and then purple.

I wasn’t saying they were bright? I was saying they are just what I run.

I got both 35w for my fogs and 55w for my low/highs

yeah i think he was just talking about the color. if you get the 10000k bulbs you will get noticed is what he is saying… get the 4300 or 5k and they wont say anything because they look stock. never said that they will blind people

thats great that you sponsor the site but this site isnt your personal business page. you aren’t gonna get the do it yourselfers anyway. i’m sure there is plenty of people that dont want the hassle and will pay you to do it. if i get burnt on a $80 HID kit its my stupidity, i’m not gonna pay all that extra money for a warranty. buts thats me, some people need that security. i ve gotten advise from other business owners on this site that could have charged me to do it instead of telling me how but thats what car guys do.
