Use the search button. The color (k) has been beat to death. Also id be very leary of ebay (cheap) hids. Remember you get what you pay for.

yeah do a search, but general knowledge is, the higher the Kelvin the lower the Lumens, or ability to light the road.

anything above at least 6000k is just aesthetic.

Why did you get it? If its for brighter output then stock, then no. If you like the color then yes.
