i would do all 6000k or all 8000k .. i have all 8000k which are white with a very small tint of blue .. mine are 100 watt hids though .. its like the sun is in front of you ..

Holy crap!

And I thought about getting 70w but decided that'd just be too much....

Here's a pic of my 10000k. They don't look too blue on the road. They don't even seem as blue as they are in the picture. I think the 12000k's would have a little purple tint to them. The projector lights have a slight smoke tint to them which is why they take a little of the color out. At least I think thats the reason. When I had 8000k halogens in the lows and highs, there was a difference in the color of the two.

its local in orange county ca.. i had a website for a while, but shut it down due to the fact business started slowing down in this economy and money was tight for a while so i had to cut some stuff, and most of my work business was from local people and word of mouth by friends.. but it is picking back up and have a website designer that wants some stuff done on his truck so we might trade some services so it will be going back up hopefully soon .. but i can ship things anywhere if needed...

now im just trying to find some time to work on my own crap.. stock sucks...

I currently have:

Raptor 6000K 35W for my lows
Raptor 8000K 55W for my highs

Reason for the 8000K for the highs is because of the 55W ballast I'm using, with the 8000K, these will shine exactly they same as the 6000K.

Definately have no complaints here .. these are installed in a set of DEPO Projectors, only the lows are projector, the highs are normal lense.

damn i have 35watt 8000k.
was gonna upgrade to 55watt 10k as my lows and fog lights.. but now that i know there are 75 and 100... i may opt to spend the extra money.
75 watt lows and 55watt fogs will look great and i just ordered some depo's 2 hours ago

do i have to change the lights and ballast or just the ballast to go from 35 to 55 watt or maybe even 75watt
i cant find 75watt hid kits anywhere...???
