Helios 5000k HID Kit Installed

Maxx Mazda said:
I had the XenonDepot kit on my ca before, I had 4300K and it matched factory HID perfectly (cause that's what factory HIDs are, 4300K) I had a bulb break, so he replaced both under warranty but I got 6000K instead to compare... I liked the 4300K better.
Thanks for the input Maxx. Did you prefer the 4300K better because of light output or color? Was the 4300K kit white or did it have hints of yellow?

Thanks... I am so close to placing an order and right now I'm leaning towards the 5000Ks if it means I'll get more light output and a pure white color.

I have had 5000Ks in for the past few years and they are very white. They were whiter when I first bought them, but still very much so. I would recommend 5000K.

No, they are definitly white, and not yellow. HIDs change color with age, they tend to get bluer after the first 200 hours or so. 4300K is factory HID in all BMW's, LExus, etc. so if that's the color you're looking for. The xenondepot.com kit is of very high quality, and was not yellow at all. Search for my name and I started a thread when I installed my 4300K's with pictures so you can see them.
