help me pic my HID color

i've looked @ a bunch of sites. i'm going with a MuCulloch KIT.
either from http://www.angelfire.com/oz/subie/enter.html or http://www.angelfire.com/ultra/brightlightz/
--oh yeh. any experience with any of em?

anyways... i want mine in mostly white range. The 2nd site says that 5300 will give me some yellow. i def. don't want yellow. and that the 6000 will give me blue. so what gives me white? lol. thanks for any help!

i'm going to buy it tonight. hehe.

from my dealing with fishtanks, the closer you get to 6,000k the better ( more of the color of daylight )

not sure if the HIDs are the same

I would get 5300 especially since you live in the bay area. its the best light output IMO and cops wont harass you because it doesnt lok blue.

Everything is good. Did you still want the Subaru lettering? Also did you get an exhaust yet?

i got my brightstar kit from importhookup.com.

cons: separate ignitor and ballast, no provision for high beams.
pros: good price, plug and play.
