HID lighting survey:
If you have them or experience with them,... can you post what brand you chose and what the color output is for them.
I have been researchin' this for a bit now,.... and have seen Phillips Ultinons (sp?), K2, Vision, Panasonic, and some other off brands,...but no write ups other than how much brighter it is (obvious). I know each cars reflector/project affects the output color,...and since I have a SC400, I figured I'd contain my survey those with the SC lamps.

i used to have k2. wasn't happy with it because it was too purple, which made things seem dimmer, although pictures that i took clearly show an improvement in lighting. i sold my k2 kit. i wouldn't recommend it unless you like the purple look.
