I would go with 4300k personally. I had DDM 5000k and I thought they were on the blueish side. Went to 4500k and while better, I still think they could be whiter to better match factory LED.

Got mine from DDM tuning. Mostly plug in play except for running the relay harness from the battery to the each headlight (which was pretty easy).

If you're going to do HID (something I disagree with but that's another thread), anything above 5000k on a road going vehicle makes you an ****. There, I said it. :lol:

So I'm an **** now?

Pretty sure I recall reading that you pulled your HIDs but otherwise yeah. That blue garbage is blinding as hell, especially since 99% of the people who buy this china junk don't bother to adjust their headlights to minimize glare. Putting HIDs in halogen housings makes as much sense as filling a gas powered vehicle with diesel.

thats all i need to order just like that no other drop down boxes....how long did it take you to set this up from start to finish? how does it match your led dlr's? are the stock HIR bulbs easy to get to? I like the price just wish i was a liitle bit more knowledgeable on the install.....

Calm down Moderators.. Play nice lol. Long as it's a legit projector it's perfectly legal. The ones who believe HID's are acceptable in Non-projector headlights are the ones that need to knock it off. Keep them out of your fog lights to..

Some tuner had HID low beams 6k++. So I fired my highbeams in his face, he fired back with his high beams; they hurt my eyes less than the HIDs! So I hit him with the highbeams a few more times.

 

4300 is supposedly optimal for viewing. That's what I want in my Hellas. Don't forget to make sure they're aimed correctly if they're your low beams!

If you go with 35 watt bulbs 4300K will be the closes to the factory LED color. You will still have a shadow of blue on the top edge of the cut off line. This is caused by the bright light passing threw the edge of the low beam shutter. I have the 5000K bulbs and they have more white then the factory LED. If I ever have to change bulbs I will go to the 4300. Plus they are the brightest.

The first link below discusses all these questions. The second does also and included install info. If you still have questions, AFTER reading each, please post your questions in those threads.
