Default Which is whiter?

Looking at the DDM HID Kit 35watt but I want a true white color no blue ricerness for me.

So you guys with the HID which is the clear pure white with this kit? My brother in law's kid knows a guy with a shop that makes custom projector headlamp assemblies for these to go into.
So which is the true brightest white?

5000k has NO blue and No yellow... But usually the closest you will find is 6000k

I ordered mine a week ago... FYI they are on backorder right now... I went 5000k because that is a white light opposed to the others. I believe 10000k is brightest and whitest but some have claimed it's overkill and the 5000k's are more than enough. I ordered the slimlines b/c I don't believe they have the raptors anymore.

Is the blue essence you guys are saying really noticeable? Or barely noticeable? I the 5000k and 6000k difference just color? One isn't brighter than the other correct?

4350 is the color that the OEs use and is the only legal HID color.

Nothing you do with those DDM kits will make them legal however.
But if you're going to bugger your lights and do a ghetto projector, pick the 4000K color and blind fewer people.

Go to the Daniel Stern site and read up on this. Better yet, email him and discuss it.
You can still do what you want afterward but get a few facts first.

my experience installing 20 or so HID kits, is 10000K is boarderling purple, 8000K is blue, 6000k hint of blue and 4300K is white.
