quick question

I am wanting to get new HID bulbs for my car but I dont know what would be good to get and if I will need some kind of adapter. I also need to replace my high beam lights. If you have aftermarket HID's can you please post a pic so I can see what they look like.

Your car doesn't have factory HIDs? Or it does?

If it does, then spend $100 and you'll get quality bulbs. 6000K is the way to go, everything else...meh.

If you don't have them stock I don't have any suggestions for you because I don't suggest it. Talk to myGi$Gangster.

xenons are HIDs... the stock temperature they burn at is 4300k...

3000k is yellow (great for fog lights)
4300k is stock
6000k is white with a little blue tint
8000k is bright blue
12000k is deep blue
the higher temperature you go, the more the color spectrum goes from yellow to white to blue to purple to pink

HIDWorld.com is having a sale (or was last week) i ordered 8000k 35w replacement bulbs to go in instead of the 4300k. I paid $50 shipped.

H1 for the lowbeams, h4 for the fogs, 8000k top and bottom, xentec hids, about 120$ for both kits. That's if your car didn't come with oem hids

i don't know how many watts they are, i don't have projectors so you probably need D2R bulbs for the lowbeams
