Hey

Just fitted my 8000k HID's on my Lexus IS200 - [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wasim931/2788313706/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/wasim931/2788313706/[/url]

I was thinking of removing these and going for 10,000k as I think 8000k isnt blue enough - lol

What do you guys think?

Am I more likely to get pulled over by the police and fined for 10,000k?

Thanks!

I think anything over 8000K is asking for trouble, to be honest. Any higher than 8000K can only be a police vehicle. Just keep those 8000K or wait for some blue lights flashing with a siren behind you (the choice is yours)

Be safe. :)

Go for 12000K then you have purple lights, saw them once on an Astra and think only Prince (in a time long gone) would like these. And the police will only laugh at you......

why would u want blue/purple lights anyway? u cant see anything.

get 4.3K or a 6K

I wouldn't recommend it as you probably would get stopped, plus you'll be getting much less light on the road. As much as I love the way my 8000Ks look, if I did it again I'd probably go for 4.3 or 6.5 as Rob says as they put more light on the road :)

The first HID kit I bought was a 6,000k colour temperature. I fitted these to my driving school car and thought they were great. After these went after about four years, I changed to a 4,300k colour temperature kit. You don't get the look of the projector HID lights but they are so much brighter. 4,300k is the ones to go for in my opinion.

10k are purple, not blue. i mean really purple......
