Question HIDs Indecision

I've done some reSEARCH and decided to get a set of KiaXen HIDs, problem is I don't know weather to get the purplish color HIDs to 'compliment' my primrose CL or the crystal white color HIDs.

Anyone have any opinions/suggestions?

color hinders the output of light. the higher the K (kelvin) temp, the less light output there is. Although it's brither than stock of course, but the lower the kelvin the better as far as light output. OEM uses around 4300k which is yellowish white, but more white. I have 5k and it's super white, and i love it.

White is very bright but looks like something you could find on stock BMWs etc. I have blue ones and I think it can look a little too flashy.

ive ordered mine from mod-express.com

i got 8000k 9006 kit.

the product is awesome. though it took three weeks for me to get them. it took one week for them to order them from the manuf. it was shipped, but damaged in transit, then resent out. if your not in a hurry and want to save money, use them, u can even contact them directly. but if u want them now, try someone else.

call them for availability, you shouldnt have a problem if they have them, and itll probably take two days. they are in texas.

I'm gettin kaixen for my 4runner, just personal preference really, I know a lot about kaixen which is why i'm goin for it, but they're mostly the same aside from overall quality i guess. Those mod express don't look bad for the price. They're all similar though, i dunno I got BMW hella ballasts for my CL though, but i'd go to excelerate, he supports the forum and get the kaixens

i drive around miami late at night all the time and any given night between 10pm and like 2 am you can find dozens of cars with headlights ranging from mildly purple to "god damn thats purple!" (to the point that you KNOW they cant see crap in the dark)
