if you want bright then i suggest no more than 6000 kelvin...anything over you are pretty much going for color. The higher the degrees the cooler the color example 12000k is purple and 10000k is bright blue. What ever you choose is up to you. Either way I believe that any of the degrees are still a good bit if not double the light output of halogen bulbs. thats my $0.02.
by "cooler the color" I meant as in going from blue to purple.

Many people believe that the higher the colour temperature the brighter the lamp. This is totally wrong. The colour temperature is purely a scale to measure the colour of the light output and is measured on the graph shown as an X and Y coordinate. It is a reference purely for colour and could equally be called White , Green or Blue. The reality is the higher up the scale the lamps are the less bright they become. 4100K lamps are approx 20% brighter (measured in Lumens not degrees K) than the 6000K. If you want lighting performance the 4100K Philips lamps are the best on the market with 3500 lumen.
Degrees K = ONLY COLOUR
Lumen= BRIGHTNESS

lol nah.......jus research........that u should always do before purchasing or installing anything
So true, people are often mislead by kelvin units. If you really want the color, project your HID's through projectors, even cheap projectors are better than regular halogen housing.lol nah.......jus research........that u should always do before purchasing or installing anything
LOL
