Its really a matter of choice between 6000k and 8000k. 6000k is slightly brighter (400 lumens) and WHITE where 8000k has a slight tint of blue. Both are beautiful

Hope this helps Tu.
yea i think it just comes down to what the driver/owner likes and is most comfortable with using at night.

both ARE beautiful!

Anyone know if the headlight bulbs can be replaced traditionally from the top or if the bumper needs to be removed ?

EDIT: FYI... remove all the covers from the top of the headlamps and the bulbs are right there.

Same with the Android version too - it basically runs in the background constantly, and uses the GPS for fine location tracking almost all the time. I uninstalled that in a hurry...

You gave me an idea... I turned off location services for the enform app on my iphone (im not sure if you can do that for the android as well).

I'll try it and see if the problem persists.

I purchased them at a local car stereo/wheel/alarm/tint shop.

You need D4S bulbs. Very common HID bulb.
