The 35w kits are a HUGE improvement over our factory headlight (I run the 35w 5K kit from them). Just be sure to re-align your headlights & try & make the alignment on the "low side", to be nice to the other dirvers 
As for colour temps, its hard to tell the actual light output but the white Talon on the left should be a 5K kit, while the right pic is 6K (I believe). There are additional photos on their main website (not the sale page listed above). My opinion would be go with the 5K, it is bright white with maybe a hint of blue. IMO it most resembles the actual light output of a "real" HID system. The 6K isn't too bad in some applications but that is the max I'd go. The higher colour temps look really rice, have less light output & are annoying to other drivers. But thats just my opinion 
On a side note, I've had my SharpeHID kit for 3 months now, & I don't know if I can go back to regular halogens now |
Thanks for the detailed replay Daren.
I think I'm sold on these, just have to wait for my next paycheck
. I just have one more question. Let's say I coupled this kit with some eBay projector headlight such as these:
1995-1996 ECLIPSE/TALON JDM PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS BLACK - (eBay.ca item 300247726320 end time 11-Aug-08 19:53:42 EDT)
Would I get a sharper cut off so I don't piss off other drivers?
Thanks,
Tom
