8000k HID
I ordered a set of 8000k HID replacements and installed them earlier today. The install was a complete pain as I had to take the fenderwell out to reach the back of the headlights. For anyone doing the install I recomment getting a new set of push-tabs because a handful of them will most likely break when you try to reuse them.
As far as the performance the 4300k factory bulbs were a noticeable amount brighter than the 8000ks (as stated in a handful of threads on here). I didnt have my camera to take a comparison picture, but I turned my lights on when I installed the first bulb. On initial startup the bulbs appeared similar in color, but about 20 seconds later a noticeable difference could be seen. The 8000ks appeared much bluer. It is in no way a deep purple, more like a hyper blue color.
The looks of the 8000ks definitely outweigh the small decrease in light output.
The only thing I noticed is that when I go over bumps the lights flicker, does anyone know if this is normal for new bulbs?

so i recommand u to check the plugs to the bulb, it might be loose or something.
