I couldn't agree with you more. :iagree::iagree:
Would it be possible for you to take a picture of your 6000k?

Sure thing soccer05. I will try to snap a shot either early in the morning today or later at night.

HID “Retrofit” Kits-
HID’s we all want em, but we can’t afford em. So we look to the cheaper HID kits to “retrofit” into our cars that are made for halogen bulbs. I was thinking about them at once, and then I decided against them. The fact is, they are NOT safe to use.

PLEASE read this if you are thinking about a HID retrofit into your car:
Daniel Stern Lighting Consultancy and Supply

To save the lazy ones some reading, HID’s and Halogens require different optics to produce the light in a safe and LEGAL way.

The filament in a bulb produces light in one spot. Lighting engineers shape the reflector and optics around where that filament is placed. The reflector and optics will place the light in a pattern in front of the car so you can see. If you move the location of the filament, the location of where the light is going changes as well. So when you put an HID retrofit in one of these halogen housings the light scatters into places you don’t want it to go. The light will most likely go into oncoming traffic instead of right in front of your car. So putting HID’s in a lamp housing made for halogens will not only be unsafe to you, but they are illegal as well.

The only safe way of putting HID’s in your car is replacing the entire lighting housing to a housing that is made for HID’s.

if your looking for the nice pure white look i would go with the 4300K bulbs, I had 5000K and the light still had a little bit of blue tint. When i put HID's in the vette i bought a complete new bulb housing that has projectors in them. The 55w systems are quite a bit brighter as well and worth the extra $$ IMO
