HID Kit - 6000K or 8000K?

What are owner/forum member thoughts in regards to using the V3 CarLab HID kit, 6000K in specific. if installed properly, should I experience issues with error codes, flickering etc?

Should I buy the low beam and fog light kits? $280 each.

Feed back is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I have no experience with that particular kit, but go for the 6000k not 8000k. You will lose light output with 8000k. The 8000k will be a purplish color which looks nice but doesn't light up the road as well.

Can anyone tell me what type of bulbs the fog lights are and will I melt the housing by using the 8000k's?
Also, are they difficult to install?? Please shoot me an answer asap if you know.. It would be much appreciated.
