A) What type of bulbs do the S13 Silvia front ends use? 9006 is my guess :confused:

B) Can anyone recommend a high quality HID Kit (brand-wise)?

C) What does the "K" mean? What color tint of the light?

Thanks in advance.

A) I don't know, pull the bulb and it should say on the bulb somewhere.

B) Do a search. There are plenty out there. Most use the same or similar components. Just make sure the filament is in the same configuration as the bulb it replaces.

C) K is for Kelvin. It represents the light temperature. A higher number is brighter. But not necessarily better. Too bright a color may start blinding others on the road.

the legal road/highway use is 5400K. Sylvania makes bulbs that are the maximum 5400K.

have any of you considered what it would be like to go driving, one time, only one time with a HID light pod like the ones they use in night rallies?

coppers would see you 8 miles away and dont even mention ruining the eyesight of everyone else on the road.
