    I've got 4300k in mine & like them. 4300 is a more natural bright light & 6000 is more of blue bright light. They are hi/low hope this helps.

    Cheers Kelvin.

    Just fitted HID to my 2006 GU, they certainly light things up. I have 6000k and they don't have much blue in them--8000K is really blue.
    I have an issue with the focus being too high, so I am looking to resolve that. I have a post under manual to see if the book shows the height adjustment
    Mounting ballasts required a couple of mounting plates and i needed to remove the air cleaner (3 nuts under the guard) and the washer bottle (battery out is easier).
    Enjoy.

    I think anything done on the left side in regard to headlight replacement needs the air cleaner out of the way, a pain in the a.....!

    uummn just fitted one and didnt need to pull battery or washer bottle or air out of the way slides under and between easy as ;-)

    Focus is only too high if you have put the 3 pin plug in to your main light wires the wrong way as you will be on high beam instead of low beam ( flick your high beam on and see if they are low beam and vice versa if they do that pull out 3 pin and turn it round

    I urge anyone who fits HID's to their headlights to be considerate of other road uses safety and adjust your headlights down. I do a lot of night driving and I'm tired of being blinded by inconsiderate people who have illegally fitted HID's to their headlights and not adjusted them down.

    IT IS ILLEGAL TO FIT HID BULBS TO HEADLIGHTS THAT WERE NOT FACTORY FITTED WITH HID BULBS.

    I couldn't agree more Tony.
    They are illegal for a reason. The attitude of "oh well, I don't have to look at them" annoys the hell out of me!
