Any body upgrade there HID Bulbs???

Here's the website http://www.hidexpress.com/index.asp

"For vehicles WITH factory HID lights, you can now upgrade your white factory HID bulbs (D2S & D2R) to our awesome 4300 Crystal White, 6000K Aqua Blue, 8000K Deep Blue or 10000K Violet Purple HID bulbs."

I'm just curious to know if anyone has done this or know someone who has done this. I would love to upgrade my HID Bulbs to 10000k.

Let me know, thanks.

I'm running 7100 and they're "purtie." I think 6000 kind of looked purple.

Do you have any pictures? I'm running 8500 for the headlights and 8000 for the fogs. I'm thinking I might want to go to 6500-7500 because of the higher light output.

I had 10,000K on my Murano and although the light output was less it was still very easy to see at night with them.

all OEM HIDs from any manufacturer is 4300-4500k...and that IS the brightest

going higher in K doesnt mean you are getting brighter....4300-4500k produces the most lumens PERIOD.

the higher k you go the more light output you sacrifice to coloring changes.


Although im considering 6000ks since theyre much nicer and apparently light output is still decent.

I liked the 10,000K lights. They received a lot of looks and none were from the cops. The neighborhood kids would chase me through my community yelling "nice lights" everyday. However, at night, when it was pouring down raining, the visibility becamse a little less than I was comfortable with. For that reason I would consider something within the 6000K-8000K range. Do they make 7000 or 7500K bulbs?
