The 6000k looks really good (that is what I have in my cars). They are a bit blue and really bright. The higher the Kelvin # the more blue or purple the color is and the less amount of actual lumens emitted. If I am not mistaken most BMW, Mercs, and Lexus are around 4500. The only drawback to these HID kits is they are not DOT certified and you can get tickets for using them. The only way to get these DOT legal would be to get the projector style (Expensive!!). The most amazing thing with these lights is how bright any reflectors and painted street lines are. The amount of light you get to the side of these trucks is really amazing as well.

Sorry, but with those cheap kits you don't get high & low beams.

These are Real HIDs

So are these. And I think they look better on a big truck than the little projectors. JMHO. Theyre not DOT approved yet, but I've never been pulled over. Even while driving behind Law Enforcement!

Projectors > All
All Mercedes, BMW, Jag's etc. use projectors. Not to mention the non projectors don't give you a light cut off like this:

Can these Projectors that DRTY posted and that you speak of be Adjusted?
example if your Rig is lifted can the projectors be adjusted downward at all?

Any known life span on these projectors? Do the bulbs get changed when they go or do you have to spend another 1000 dollars plus? After buying the 1000 dollar kit, if you blow a head light, can you buy just 1 or are you in for a whole new kit again?

Thanks
