I have 10,000K, the only thing that the color temperature of the light refers to is the color it outputs, it has nothing to do with brightness. In fact I think the lower the kelvin the higher the lumens.

you purchased the 5,000 k, why not go ahead and get the 10,000? especially for someone like myself, that likes the blue color of the higher Kelvin bulbs? can you explain that. thanks.

Alright so i followed all your steps and it worked great! BUT the only difference was that i bought the "super slim ballast" version, which CONTRARY to assumption, takes up a lot more space because of the excess wiring of the ignitor and such. I managed to shove a bunch of the wires to the side of the air intake tube but now my fairings are sticking out. And due to trying to figure a managable configuration for the space of the ignitor, ballast and wires, it was a very hard thing to do because if you wanted to put either or in one place the wire isn't long enough. But i love the new look of these H.I.D's! Very pleased for the price, but i suggest all of you to get the regular sized version.

I run the super slim and had more than enough space to mount and hide the setup..Actually you can not tell i even have it.I can remove the front face just like if it was stock..Both of my ballast are bolted together and set on the nose "shelf" so nothing to bulge out.
