Default SGM HID kit colors

im about to do the upgrade from halogens to HIDs but still trying to decide which color would look good with my SGM. I would really appreciate it if people could post some pics of their HIDs on the SGM. im between 6000k or 10000k and if anyone has the 6500k kit how does that look is it a big diff then the 6000k.


Thanks in advance

pictures won't really show anything but bright lights and usually their not really what they appear in person. I suggest you find some local members to show you their HIDs if you want a real good idea on how bright they are

6k is perfect. 8k is too blue and will make it difficult to see at night..
