    4300Kelvin has the most lumens (stock on most HID-equipped cars).

    Higher you go from that point (# kelvin), you'll start to loose lumens. Most people like 6000k as it gives the HIDness (white color, and more lumens than halogens).

    I'm currently running D2R 8000k bulbs due to the color (it is right inbetween blue and white).

    LoL~ My bad...

    I was thinking about my LED parking light keep burning out due to the heat from the HID, but it would have been the same way if my car came with halogens...
