you don't do this. by doing this you are producing less light. so you are just hurting yourself.
stick with the stock colors. but, if you want to be "that guy" on the road, just order D2R bulbs. Shane |

Anything over 5-5.5k dimishes light output and just increases color.

Depending on the brand you get, stay with 4000, 4300 or 5000K max

8000k is a downgrade in performance.
However if you want an HID kit, PM me. |

no, they will work with your current ballasts.

How about those 3000k ones I've seen then? (They're yellow looking)
Will those provide decent light output? |
