i know what you mean UCF but pics never do these bulbs justice...they always make them look way bluer then they actually are...these 8k look sharp, clean, and classy

yeah, I think the projectors would help as well. Usually when you see 8k kits, its in a reflector with glare going everywhere except the road. Maybe with the 8k it will look like the Audi HIDs which always seem to look more blue to me.

I think its' because of the housing lens they use. but I've noticed a drop in visibility with 6000k so 8000k is a little too much for me, I'm in wisc so I need my headlights, if i was in a big city I would go 8000k. I would actually want to get an A5 and just turn the leds and fogs on and drive around like that hahaha.

after having the 8000k bulbs for a few days and driving at night in non-lite roads in the back country....i feel like i can see just as well if not better with the 8k bulbs because the since the beam has a blueish hue to it it reflects off of the roads sign's real well and makes it easier to see and read the signs...i do think i need to adjust the level of my projector beams since i lowered my car so that they point upwards just a little bit without blinding the head on traffic.

First off, I'm assuming he already has HID's, second, regardless of HID's or not, the higher the K, the lower the output.

Need some help

I'm looking for ways to customize my G35 coupe headlights and I read that you have "angel kit" on yours. Can you hook me up with some places to go or what do to? If you will, can you email me pictures of what the final product looks like, thank you!

6k is perfect. White with a "very slight" hint of blue.

8k is too blue.

Ok. Thanks for the help with the color, what about kits and upgrades for the headlights?
