@Chetnik313 So, as for "driving purpose" yellow HID's would be your only choice. For look, do whatever makes your little heart tickle,

@autocrossaholic But yellow light is the hardest to reflect off water molecules suspended in the air, that's why Euro auto manufacturers have been using yellow fog lights for years. So it may not be as "bright", but yellow headlights will provide far superior vision down range, when compared to white light. The bluer you go, the worse the reflection off the water in the air gets. Then if you choose to go with a red or pink, the red side of the spectrum doesn't reflect enough to light the road.

I think the colors come from the salts that are inside the bulb, the salts vaporize and form the color (explains warm up) HIDs are a huge benefit to the driver for added visibility however when you simply swap out the halogen bulbs for HIDs you will always get glare and make yourself look like a fool and anger other drivers (unless you had halogen projectors or something) Whoever said 20 bucks for quality bulbs is a joke. Quality is hit and miss when you go that cheap (i have had experience)

@gunitzpqm its not a bad price at all. i did hours of research and price comparison before i bought my HIDs. but then again, different companies and different qualities of products would change the price obviously, but i would NEVER pay $200+ for HIDs. and it was just for the bulbs and ballasts. but i think the $60 i paid was a reasonable price without getting something super cheap versus something that will make me go broke.

@MrKdub318 You can get a pair of quality bulbs for around $15-$20 shipped in colors from 3000k to 12000k. and silverstars do not compare to HIDs. $60 is an OKAY price for bulbs and ballasts but not for bulbs alone. and $200 for WHAT exactly?? that's way too much money unless it came with a whole projector assembly

@gunitzpqm ive seen HID conversions for $200+. are you expressing that $30 is too much to pay for bulbs? sylvania silverstar halogen bulbs already sit at $40+. i paid about $60 for my 8000K HIDs

@Mitchd03 Crappy $30 bulbs? For $30 those bulbs better install themselves and a new wiring harness for your HID kit with rosin-based solder!

@jmt0602 where???
-
autocrossalcoholic is wrong the lower the K number the better you will see.The higher the K the more blue and purple it will look but you would actually see less.Lower numbers give you a more yellow type light which is way better to see with but it does not look as cool.
On HID's there is no color coating, they do something to the xenon gas inside the bulb.
If your HID's have a color coating, they're crappy $30 chinese bulbs, or halogen.
