Well I want some color. I wanted it in the 6k range. Just a hint of blue. So I ordered 35w 6k for the spots. Wanted the most amount of light. So wanted a 55w for the headlight... was told to order 8k to match the other lights.

I think some color makes you more visable in the sea of headlights. Both daytime and nighttime.

Poser? I don't think so.

Aw I ordered the 35w very purple for my GF mostly for looks but also considering that the "worst" HID still puts out almost twice as much light as a normal halogen. It's still an improvement performance wise.

Well, sorry brother, but according to every jerkoff expert on this board you're still a poser.

What else is new? I haven't installed them yet but I'm guessing that they are going to be bright and fucking purple! As long as she likes them, that's all that counts. She's not going riding out in the country at night and I honestly feel that the purple color will attract attention and possibly avert accidents. She's not doing 130 mph at night or anything so it should be alright.
