Which color HID's for my R6?

[mikecentola]

Going to get a set of HID's for my R6 for some better lighting and safety at night. I did a lot of night riding last summer/fall, so lighting is important to me. I'm looking at 4300K or 5000K kits, but I can get them from 3000K to 10000K from the same guy. Nice thing is that on my R6 low beam is one HID and high beams is both

Thanks

i think 8k would be best... i got an 8k set on my car and it's awsome.. very clear and looks real nice.. not to purple and not to dull

If you are looking for safety/brightness, 4300k is the brightest. The higher you go above that the less bright it gets but you get the different hues you get.

My vote is 4300 is you want the brightest and 5000 if looks are more important.

what he said. I had 4300k on my jeep and they were amazing. A friend of mine had some 6000k and they were bright but not as good.

4300K, had it on my bike, bright as hell

cool, the ones I have in the wrx are 4500K and they're a perfect color, so I'll probably go with the 4300's, but I didn't think 5000K made that big of a difference

4300 has the brightest light output period, but they still have a slight yellow hue to them. The 5000 are getting closer to a real white light, but not brighter.

yea whateveryone else said. if you want them to be bright, 4300k. if you want them to be a cool color, well then something else.

I was leaning towards the 4300's because of the great light output. Should be a fun install

Yea it will look pretty sweet afterwards. I was thinking of getting HID's for the Bravada sometime in the future. I would probably go with 6000k though for the color.
