Default HID upgrade from 4300K OEM to 6000K

I bought this bulbs off a sponsor here on my350z.com and I thought I'd post a little comparison. Note - these are taken with my camera phone, so it looks like a ton of glare and not much difference, but I assure you, they look spectacular in person and the price was amazing.

Only $35.00 per set (PM me for sponsor information, in case they don't want those prices public, but I know they've got 8000K, 10000K, and on up)

Yea, this thread sucks, I know. All in all, there is a great price on HID bulbs here on my350Z.com and I wanted to let all the members know. Sorry for the crappy pics, I wish I could do these bulbs justice because they look AWESOME

4100k-4300k is usually the temperature of choice by car manufacturers, because it provides the most lumens. The higher temperature you go the less lumens the HIDs gives out. lumen=light output/power

I agree 100% and I want to take better pictures, but I don't want to go back and put in the 4300K OEM bulbs, but I will try and post some pictures of the new bulbs. Though, it looks like there is an ad at the bottom of this thread for HID lights and to be honest, they look more like the 8000K bulbs in person. A lot of compliments from locals already
