STFU Max....I am actually interested in replacing my HIDs. Not sure what color to go with. I dont want to spend almost $200 for philips vs spending less for lights that do the same thing. I am indifferent on the Kelvin that I want to get also. I have a purple theme going on but I dont want it to be ricey. I just want it to look good and different at the shows.

slight blue/purple tint when you look at the headlight... Perfectly hyperwhite on the road though which is what I like.

Big improvement from OEM 4300k.

Id say the 8k will be a good amount of purple... BlackJack and I tested our HIDs this weekend...

Max--- HPAutoworks 6k HIDS (90 bucks w/ 5yr warranty ) = slight blue up close but super white far away...

BlackJacks--- EliteEV 6k HIDS (58 shipped w/ 6month warranty) = a very slight purple I mean very slight and lights up very white )


Overall we decided that Elite EVs were closer to the 4300k OEM bulb than the HP autowork hids... and had the ever so slight purple hue... it was kinda weird...and hard to describe...


Here is some pics:

Max= Left/Blue ---- BlackJack--Right/Black













BLACKJACKS ELITVEV -- can see a lil purpler here...






MaxToTheG37s HP Autowork -- can see the slight blue super white










This one shows it well.....
















Hope this helps.... I recommend HP Autoworks Capsules for the warranty alone...

I think this pics shows it well...

Far left = OEM 4300k
Middle = EliteEV 6000k
Far Right = HPA 6000k

If you like blue, go with HPA. EliteEV is more white as you can tell.

What do you get for your clearance/parking lights? I am a noob when it comes to lighting. I know they are a wedge light but other than LED I cant find any other wedge.

Look up PIAA Xtreme white

They're filament bulbs if you don't want LEDs.
