    What kind of light color are you looking for - white, white with blue tint, or more blue than white?

    ballast- a 35w ballast will put out more color(blue) and average light output
    a 55w ballast will make the light brighter while washing out some of the blue color

    bulb- 4500k is pure white light and as number increses the blueness increase and the usability of light goes down.

    i wouldn't go over 8k. i had 35w 8k on my 97 and it was alright but my 6k's now are brighter. i've noticed that 35w 6k(what i have) is kind of a greenish bluish light while 8k is bluish white.

    I really like the way the ones looked on your old 97. even though they might not have been as good as the ones you have know, but they were still way better than stock lights right?

    35w 8k yeah they put out alot of light. of course some people disagree with putting hid's in stock halogen reflector housings.... fugg them. who cares lol

    they look white in this pic but they have a slight blue hint to them in person.

    Well this is what i was thinking, Im gonna get a set of rigid dually's, So i thought they either come in blue or amber? And im one of those people that if i can, i want it all to mach so (n plus i could use all the light) So i want to upgrade to hids in my hellas and regular lights. And i want them all to match to the best i can get them too. If that makes since.
