Thankssss Guys...
I know the 12000k's light is a lot worser than the stock 4300K, cant see as much as the stock one...
but just want to try the purple HIDs,looks dame good for me...
Thanks "Renesis SE3P" ~I'm thinking about getting better ballasts
Also thanks"Rotary Rasp "...but what he said "The ballast doesn't care what color temp the bulbs are"...thats may be one of the reason that the bulbs arent good ><" may be really be better to switch back to stock HIDs...but the 4300Ks looks kind of yellow tho...
well...i bought the 12000Ks on the e-Bay that many rx-8 club members bought from,that's what i think should be fine...but they all get 8000Ks... ~_~
so the ballasts can only holds up to 9000Ks or any temp is fine??
should I get better ballasts or buy another 8000Ks? ~_~
