low beam Hid's?
I have a 2001 blazer zr2 wondering if i should get the 6000k or the 8000k? and also have 2 hella foglights. can i get hid's for those too? thanks

i got the 12k's through ddm tuning and love em, if i were you i would get the 10k's though and get them for the fog lights also. most fog lights take H3 bulbs but im not entirely sure

alright thanks a lot. also, do they run your HID's all the time or do you have them on a switch?

Don't get anything brighter than 6000K your defeating the purpose of getting HID's the higher the temperature the less bright your lights are going to be. 4100K is the optimum brightness for HID's and that is what all car brands use in stock vehicles. Most aftermarket companies either make 4000K or 4500K which is the closest to OEM HID color temperature. With the 12000k and the 10000K they bring so much attention to your car with the obnoxious blue color when they aren't much brighter than stock headlights. So if I were you I'd stick with the 4000-6000K range to get the best brightness and not have your headlights look super blue. I have 4500K in both my highes and lows and I have them wired up to my headlight wires just as the stock bulbs were.

Get the 5k or 6k. Unless you really want blue then 8k or so but it wont be as bright

im rocking the 6k..even tho in my pics they look blue. As the others have said the higher you go in k's the less brither they are, but the blue-er they get. i had 12k before, not as satisfied as i am now wit 6k.
