Default Thinking of Installing 8000k Hids?
Just wondering if anyone has installed 8000k Hids on there E? I've had 6000k on my Saturn liked them they were nice & bright even clear, I feel like something a bit brighter especially if I modify my headlights some way or other! I may add custom Halo ring somehow if feesable just to be different when I tear them open I was going to either paint match the inside reflector part or just black, am I able to do this or will my lights not shine properly?

8000k will be blue but not really brighter. This is the color I hate to see on the road coming towards me.

Same here , every time I see a car with 8000k reminds me of those civics ricers hatchback from the 90's customized by young guys , my personal view , i just relate that ;and indeed they look too bright and too blue + you get less useful light output .
That's why i had 6000k on my 08 Elantra and got the same with the 2012.

If you've never taken a headlamp apart, get something cheap from junkyard to experiment with before you tear apart your stock ones. It's not easy to take these things apart without screwing something up. Also, 8000k is too blue for practical use.

I'm thinking of replacing to 6k. I think they are bright enough.

On a side note: crownroyal... did anyone say you kind of look like Sal Masakela, the x-games host... just saying.
