    I know what ya mean about shipping. I usually order the parts on a saturday or sunday which makes me wait another day bc nothing goes on on weekends :p But it just makes the product more exciting when you get it lol

    I'm going with 6000k if I get any. I want a white or barely blue color. After 6 you are just going for color.

    with our housing as is, any HID drop in kit will have BAD light pattern and cut-offs due to the amount of light flood in the housing. it simply can not take it thus causing glare all over the place and ghost spots all over the place. Trees, Houses, Up to the Left..ETC.. Im experimenting with a custom shield for the HID bulb that will allow for glare reduction/Overflood and giving better use of the stock shield in the housing.

    So with something like 10K u will not look JDM tite but UFO tite.

    LOL :D

    I've experimented with several different color temperatures and the best is OEM spec around 4000-5000K. I'm running 4300K currently. Lumen output drops dramatically when you go higher than that. I had 9500K at one time, and my original Sylvannia Silverstar halogens were brighter. Plus at night, in the rain, or God forbid at night AND in the rain, I couldn't see shit.

    @ the OP. Return them or ask them to change the color temperature for something a lot lower. You'll regret it if you don't.
