Ha 10k is garbage! All color and no brightness. I've installed some for somebody and they had half the distance of my low beams on my projectors. The most effective colors are 4300k-6000K anything more is just color, and they're dimmer.

This!

Not to mention that plug and play HIDs blind people... they do not retain the factory cutoff and are never aimed properly in halogen lenses.

And they generally **** me off.
