    Default Need some opinions

    I recently totalled my mazda, so i went from a honda basher to a honda owner. Didnt see that coming, anyways Im getting new HID bulbs so I was thinking maybe ill go to a different color, I have a Black 08 Si coupe if that effects the decision at all. Right now its between 8k (What I had on the mazda) and 3k. I figure ill let IA help me decide. let me know what you think.

    Go for 4300k, retrofitted projectors of course. Doing a bulb swap on most reflector housings is fairly lame.

    8k to what, blind people? 4300k-6000k tops, especially if you are going to just slap bulbs in and not get projectors installed.

    I will never understand slapping attention getting HID bulbs, to blind people and not see clearly b/c "its cool" in cars that no one cares to look at. Just do it right, get some 4300ks if you are not going to install projectors.
