Unhappy HID LIght upgrade ?

Ok the questionis how do you upgrade your existing light HID?
I want to get a pure white or the bue tint . Is this a matter of changing bulb or I have upgrade the Ballast /Power supply?
I want o upgade my 03 S2000 and my Infiniti 2003 G35 4 door car.

Change the bulb if you want. OEM is brightest HID bulb though. Anything above or below 4300K will not be as bright but more color..

I have 10000k in my car. They say they are not as "bright" but if you want my opinion I can see alot better.

My girlfriend has 30000k in her S and you cant see shit. But they are purple so they match the car.

You need something like this, OEM spec replacement HID bulbs, they're a straight plug and play.

As mentioned, OEM 4300K is the best application. Yes, it's not as white, but don't go over 6000K for white. All else is just plain rice.

Agreed. Anything over 6k is just rice. Makes no sense sacrificing light output.

how about you educate yourself on lighting... 8000k definitely does not offer more visibility than 4300k
