What temperature are you thinking??

6,000 would be the highest I'd go..

I'm a fan of the oem color.. But I'm definitley interested in seeing some pictures of different colors..

i used to have 6K bulbs on my AP1 headlights and like what it'S2KLEAN says oem last longer but i did some research and i found this site "ddm tuning" and they have some good hid stuff.

i even changed the whole ballast and converted to 55watt with 8K bulbs and have it from AP1 till i switched to AP2 headlights and have no issues.

only thing with 55watt conversion is you will have to modify your headlights.

Stock is 4300K which is the brightest they get. Anything else changes color but loses light output.
