HID's--> What color bulb?

[eksplosivejoe13]

I'm thinking of getting a set of HID's from DDM Tuning, but i dont know what color i want. I'm stuck between 4500K, 5000K, and 6000K. I'm leaning towards the 5000K. Which color will give me the most "useable" light? and i've heard that the higher temp colors suck in the rain. somehow they get washed out by the rain.

and could someone explain the difference between the 35W and 55W kit. why would i get one over the other? is it just that the 55w is brighter?



PS. Happy Easter everyone!!

I have a 4300k kit and prefer that because i'm not a fan of the blue-purple color. The highest I would go is the 5k but 6k is still not that bad especially if you have a blue car.

I believe 4500 or so will give you the most usable light, stock are usually 4300. I have 6000K on my car and they are not very blue at all.

The difference between 35w and 55w is the brightness. The other difference mentioned on their website is the color of the 55w is like one off of the 35w, for example 6000k 55w will look like 5000k 35w.

Didn't look for this. I just placed an order for the 4500K ones. I got in the 55W, hoping that calms it down to 4300. I like just white.
