JohnsRX:

Money not being a factor, rank order your need.

1. Amount of Night driving you do (95%), on-looker factor (5%).
2. Travelling in unfamiliar area, camping, passenger needs.
3. Wheel appeal in your eyes (90%), function (5%), on-looker factor(5%)
4. Hours at a stretch you need to sit in the chair.

12000k HIDs? You're kidding right? Those things won't throw any useable light... That'd be a mistake in my opinion - 6000k is the maximum useable color temp - even 8000 is getting ridiculous. With 12000 you might as well just unhook your headlights and use your parking lights. Sorry man, just my opinion.

I'd go for HIDs (4100k or 6000k) and then the Lowenharts. Just my .02

Not trying to give you grief JohnsRX, just my honest opinion. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Oh yeah, one more thing... Thought about installing Nitrous JohnsRX? It would seem to suit your driving style I think Now that'd be a sweet mod.

Forget 12000K - You won't see anything. It'd be like a neon black light. Remember 4100K is OEM.

My boss has a recaro 'racing' style office chair (they run about $1,000.) I find it, hmm not comfortable like a big lazy boy, but comfortable in another way that everything is adjustable. I sit in it every morning at work, and I noticed that the seat itself is pretty hard.

yea i just met a guy with a CLK benz that has the 4100k stock and he also says 6000k is best and 12000 isnt very bright. Strange if u ask me, but i think u are right.
