i just bought a Philips 6000k ultinon Kit. Trying to beat the ban on HIDs. Heard a lot of good reviews from the Lighting forum.

I have Philips and they are awesome. To be exact, I have 6000 K. The 4100k looks yellow when compared to 6000 K.

Oops, sorry, guess I would have seen that if I paid attention. Just curious, are you changing any of the headlamp housing? Or just installing the kit into your stock housing?
