Only taking 35 watts and should i go for the 6000k or 4000k?

Hey:
Dragon, you do get what you pay for when it comes to lights I have a kit on both my CBR1KF and my old CBX, I wasted money on the 1st 35w kit for my CBR as the ballasts were supposed to be mini but still to large for a bike, also the lights were no brighter than the halogen L 55w / H 100w that was in there, and they were 4k ones. Next time up I went with Asian 35W 6.5k bike ones, they sucked, glare and no light on dark back roads where I have 20 miles of to and from work. They were bad to see for both myself and for on coming drivers. The next set Mini 55W, were for a bike and have been great, 5K output perfect light in all conditions, well sealed, no glare mini small, fit well and no downside except they cost more than the cheap under engineered, well underpriced junk that we see out on the web. They are worth every penny as the light output is about double the distance of what I use to see and never have any oncoming drivers flash me, trucks,cars or other bikes.
I posted a bit on this back when Shadow was looking for some, the German Zeta kits (On My CBR Zee 55W, and (on My CBX) DDM ones are very good, most others are not. Also this is why DJ Stern offers a complete change over kit vs an install upgrade as many are not really an upgrade. Also the problems are for mostly European cars they mention and do not apply for the bikes we own.
I'll see if I can find the old post.
