Default HIDs installed

I just had HIDs installed in my Crossfire. Tell me what you think. I'll try to get some night pics later.

I bet it is over 6500K...I had 6500K and I felt it did not light up the road well, especially in the rain. Only on pitch black roads were they better than factory. For truly better visibility, I suggest between 4300K and 5000K. I have 5000K on the Crossfire right now and I love them. They are ever so slightly more blue than factory HID's. You really have to stare to notice the difference.

Ditto on everything! I have 6000k and I wish I had gone lower. They light up the road great, but I know that they could be SO MUCH better.

I'm actually not sure what the temp is, as I had them installed. I'm pretty sure its probably 6000k though, or something near there. I really like them though. I haven't gotten any night pics though, because the car had to go to the dealer for a few days.
