Default HID

I want to convert my headlights, I dont want a purple color or a deep blue, an intense white would look best with the pearl white, but I could settle for a light tinted bluish...anyone have a recommendation?

my goal is super white and super bright, or some compromise in between. 5000k seems like that compromise. although I might go with 6000k

Default According to the experts, the brightest (highest lumen output) are HIDs in the.....

4500-5000K range. Any higher and you lose light output, and the light becomes bluer. I have been using 5000K HIDs for several years now and am very satisfied with the performance.
