2. Higher Kelvin temperature does not mean brighter light! While it may look nice, there is no value added lighting benefit, just a color difference.

- Justin is totally correct, I went with the 6k and its great, its not as focused as a BMW/Merc headlight setup, but I wasnt expecting that so im ok.

I bought it on eBay from a seller that I think was out of china.... I wasnt expecting great stuff but I was proven wrong- The ballast, bulb, wiring, all of it was good quality and easily installed. Not too difficult, but you definitly need to know a little bit about wiring/electronics before you just jump into it.

Good luck!
