Hey guys im planning on buying an HID Conversion kit for my W210, and i cant decide wether to get the 6k or 8k bulbs? , i dont want them too bright , i want them to have a part of blue in them, i will put them in a new projector headlights that i ordered, please post pics of your HID's , will appreciate greatly, waiting on your pics and suggestions , thanks in advance

Get 6000K, so you will see better than the 8000K and you'll still get the blueish hue. As for the projectors, IMO you will only get the cosmetic benefit from them if you're not replacing the projectors with the better ones since the factory cut off of these projectors is scrambled/ messy. You should just stick to your OEM with HID

Thanks for reply B189s
Yea im actually thinking to stick with the 6k, ive seen some 8k out there on the road they do look too blue, so probably will stick with 6k, plus it will be easier to match everything else like fog lights and parking lights with 6k as well

Stick with the White light, making it look more stock is the best!

Sometimes it's hard to match headlights with parking lights even for 6000K, but possible.

I'm running 6000K/3000K for heads/fogs, sort of JDM style , but I turn on my fogs only when it rains hard, not all the time like most people. It's more of a safety issue to me especially when my wife and my baby sitting in the car.

I have 6000K and glad I didn't go with the 8000K. I don't like those blue lights I think they are ghetto.

Can you please post some pics of your 6k? Wanted to see how they look

I have the same setup. I don't really have a good picture of it though. All I have is a picture from a video



That's with 6000k. The 8000k looked too ricer for me. I might actually go with 5000k to get more light output and get a cleaner, oem+ look

thats 8000k ddmtuning HID kit with spyder projectors

if i could go back.. probly wouldve went for 6000k.. but it doesnt bother me nearly enough to change it. i want to do the fog lights 3000K for a nice yellow.

Old pic of 6k in retrofitted e55 projectors. Since then I have swapped out the lenses for ZKW-R clear lenses (more color better cut off). I need to get a new pic, I can light up 4 or 5 lanes on the highway.

i have a pair of ZKWs sitting on the project bench waiting for me to perform the lens swap

i have the 5000k hid kit in my car, but the i would go with the 6000k hid kit if i were you. I do have a good picture of my car at night time and i will post it here. the daytime running light are also 5000k LED's.
