^^^Yep. If you get the ones Foxy recommends they'll also take care of any defects for quite a while, too. I don't remember the exact time frame but they told me that when I contacted them about a relay (which they sent to me free of charge... a very nice one too with lots of power leads).

$89 to your door.

What type of bulb did everyone get? I am interested to see how far the spectrum of CBR bulbs there is and to make a reference for those interested in purchasing kits. Post up and I can update this list and/or post it on page 1.

87-90 600F:
H4/9003
95-98 600F3:
H7

Here are links to the H7 kits, you need to select a color temperature as well.

5,000K
6,000K
8,000K
10,000K

I went with the 8K - they were ultra white head on with a blue tint from anywhere else...see if I can find a pic. I think Foxy used the 6K's which are the brightest white without the blue... I think. Seems like anything else, different kits have different numbers and blah blah blah

Meh none of the pics I have decently show the lighting.

I went with 8000K as well, I don't think it should be too blue, but then again looking below I could be wrong. I'll find out later this week.

Different companies, different kits, different values, I think. The scale Rrasco put up seems about the most common though - it's what I've been led to believe to be the most common.

Temperature is temperature. I have a 6k kit and it has blue in it.


Also the higher the temp the less light output.

4300-5k is white if you want a to just get rid of the yellow look from halogens.

I know what you're saying man, trust me.

I'm simply saying that with all these companies making HID's these days it's like shoes - a size 11 should be a size 11 - inches are inches... right? But we all know how that goes...
