Default HID Headlights

Im looking into changing my headlights to HID's in the fog lights as well. I notice on some picture people have posted they have some in. Im wondering where you guys bought them and what it ran you to buy them.

DDM Tuning has them for a great price, they have had problems shipping in the past but I think ordering around the slower times of the year you'll be fine

I think 3000k are slight yellow and 10000k are purple, but don't quote me on that because I'm not good at HID colors

I don't, I'd go with 5000k, according to that chart it's pure white, which I think looks best
