Default general GS4 question?

Hello everybody..

future GS4 buyer here (i'm sold of them and WILL get one, just a matter of time )

i had a question about the HIDs in particular, are the OEM HIDs around 4k in wattage? I believe when I was searching for it I came upon that answer. I saw a GS4 around here a couple of weeks ago and had a purplish tint to his HID with the yellow fogs which is the look that I want to go for. So my question is if that is the OEM trim? If not, do I need to bump it up to 6k?

i wouldn't mind going aftermarket with the HID but would rather go OEM if possible because the future car will be just a cruiser with a nice drop on rims, any help will be greatly appreciated, cheers!

Basically oem is about 4k kelvin (not watts). Max should be about 6k. Anything over that is purplish and asking for trouble.

Here's a link from rominl:

I suggest you throw your computer out the window and not visit CL if you are truly serious about this last statement
