The company I listed, is no longer a sponsor, and owes NICOclub.com money.

Factory is 4300. You will lose output if you go higher than 4300. 6k will give you a blueish color, 8k-10k will give you a purpleish color. The high the number doesn't give you better light. It just appears that way looking at the headlight. I run 4300 in my G35, I35, S-10 and 300zx. I put 6k in my daughter's Camry and her boyfriend is running 8k in his Supra.

I have had a pair of the 9500K in my 03 for over a year now, they are incredible coloring and put out just about the same amount of light as the stock. The previous post is true, higher temp....lower light output. The light output on the ones I have is incredible though, not a noticable difference at all. 4300K stock-6000K are not that good looking, I would go with anything above 6000K if you are looking for a nice color/light output combo.
