Ok, so assuming you have projector lenses ...

10000k .. You want rice with that?

I would suggest around the 4-5000 mark that's the factory oem color for most euros that have hids.

Around 6000k will give you the white with a blue tinge too it. Scatters lots of light but not great in the wet.

I have around 6000k and now thinking of changing to 4-5000k for better visibility as that's what I put them on for.

Also, go 35w as your driving light NOT 55w - be considerate.

If you do not have projector lenses then DO NOT BUY.

Now - run a search - tons of info on the forum. Also you can get them from eBay. (I did and lasted a year without issue so far)

I don't have projector lenses, but I was looking into them also

Why shouldn't I use them if I don't have projector headlights??

What price range would I be looking at for a good kit?

Cheers

Because if you don't have projector lenses it will scatter your beam all over the road affecting oncoming drivers.

You will also have a few bitches on here have a go at you, but at the end of the day it's your car and your entitled to do what you want to it.

Pricing you will look anywhere between $50 upwards to $300 for premium quality kits. Like above go for a 35w 6000k HID for optimum results.

Good luck.
