Default Wtt 4 Hid

Anyone know where I can get a cheap (but not cheap) HID headlight kit? Just FYI: eurolamps.com sells Blue Ion headlights that are twice as bright as any headlight I've ever seen. And I've seen many.

But nonetheless, I want HID. I would even trade my ITR carbon fiber interior stuff for the all-inclusive kit. Vent, Console from the cup holder up to the vents, Shift surround...

What's up with 4.2k, 5k, 6k, & 8k? I thought you could only go so high? Also, will I need electrical upgrade to support them?

Opinions on this:

those numbers are color temps, 4.3k is basic white and has the best light output than any other temp. as you go up it gets blue-r and then eventually gets to purple at around 11k-12k

no electrical upgrade is needed, they actually run on lower wattage than stock bulbs.

im trying to find a sponsers site that was selling them for like 250

word. Why would anyone want purple headlights? I want the ones that are white when you are up close but change colors when the car is oncoming and hitting bumps and shit. Know what I mean?

Not going to happen unless your car comes equipped with factory HIDs in a HID housing with autolevelers.

I have the 6000k kit on my car that I got from the vendor on this site, "Xenith Xenons". It cost me $250 shipped.

Light output decreases and color increases the higher the temperature you get, so 6000k is a nice medium between color and light output.
