Im really tempted to get a set for mine! The only thing putting me off is do they blind people? Do many of you get people flashing at you etc?

They're obviously not aligned if you're getting people flashing you

HIDs in cars with reflector headlights annoys the hell out of me, you very rarely see them working well with that setup.

I had 8k on the previous BMW

IMO just the right amount of blue tint

4300k isthe brightest and 6000k gives crisp white light

Anything above 8000k you will struggle with lumins especially in rain as this absorbs that range of light

Some tool who had it before me has put blue headlight bulbs in it, In the fog, main beam and the dip beam.

Replaced them with the standard ones that where in the boot. Will get a set of 6k ordered on payday. Don't want to spend a fortune on them so will be scouring ebay for a bargain pair!
