I got 6000k for my es
They don't look as good on the frosted projectors though...
The color vs light output is great.

I voted 6000k and even though 4300K will yield the highest Lumens rating, the tiny hint of blue in the 6000k looks awesome!

Yes, just get the same based bulbs i.e. if you got a 9006 kit you would replace with 9006 rebased bulbs.

OEM Phillips D4S 4800k is the best HID kit you can get... 3800 lumens! Brightest bulbs on the market! Plus its cheaper than XD's 4300k OEM kit!

The white looks better with Yellow fogs too.
Im with you brother man!

I agree 1000%... just installed my kit yesterday and they are beautiful.... digi cam battery will be charged tonight (hadn't touched it since the cruise) and I'll snap some pics... the cutoff line is quite defined... I just need to adjust them (up, even) as it seems they have been pointed down for a long time...

6000K looks best. Dont go stock. you want to standout. 6000K is perfect and very bright.
