I have 8k now..should I go down to 6k or a pure white 5k? What do you think would look best? I just thought 8k looked good cause it was blue on blue..but Idk if I should keep it or change the temp..

I went with a 6k for mine. Still has a slight blue tint to them but nothing too bad
These are in my wife's trailblazer but they're the same set-up as mine

I'd go to 5k most likely. The pure white.

if i went for 5, what color halos would look best with that? white as well, or a blue to color match the truck? :confused:

i'm thinking white lol..it's very eye appealing

also, whats the advantage that the bi-xenon bulbs have over the regular xenon bulbs? im noticing the bi-xenons are more expensive..

halos..........well..........I'd do white.

Bixenon - hid low and high. The lower priced ones will not give you a hid high beam. :D

I have 8k bi-xenon projectors and I really like the color, but like JJ said, light is lost, mine are not as bright as I'd like them to be, if I redid mine I'd go with 5k.

I agree, the bright white is my favorite and you can see a lot better with it

I don't like Hidextra at all. There stuff is hit or miss. Go with JJ Hid kit.
