Post What HID to upgrade to?

I just wanted some opinions of what bulb to change to or keep the factory in. I have an '02 blue S with factory bulbs and love them but curious if anyone changed just the bulbs, and what type u changed to and how much a difference they make. I like the blue/purple color but dont want it to look bad on the blue car, PM me or reply to let me know! Thanks for your help! James

I would move up to 6000k! Crisp and visibility still awsome.

If I were you tho, I would go with that company because of the HOT color of the bulb, not blue but that HOT aqua color which is very classy in my opinion.

I'd say keep stock 4,300k or 5k anything other than that is useless. If its color you want then try doing a shield mod for more color in the cutoff.

liquidtek- I am loving your blue top. I miss mine from my MY02. OP- forget "upgrading" your HIDs. It is pointless as they are they best as is.

The higher temp bulb, the more blue/purple it they will shine.. Also, the less visible light they will produce and the road illumination will decrease. 6k wouldn't be too bad though.. I'd let that pass, but will stick to stock myself.
