So 4500K is a very usable HID? I want the brightest light I can possibly get, but I know that the higher the Kelvin rating, the dimmer the bulb will actually be. So is 4500K brighter than standard halogens? Because I have a 9005 bulb in my 9006 low beam and that helped a lot but not as much as I would like.

Wow, talk about bringing a thread back from the dead

HIDs are brighter than halogens by nature. It's sort of like comparing the difference of a flashlight to a candle - it's the source itself that makes it bright. The temperature color doesn't actually make the light dimmer per se, it's more a matter of how far that particular light wave in the spectrum is able to travel. Yellow enhanced depth perception, blue can fatigue the eyes. A lot of people chose blue as an aesthetic choice though, but personally I wouldn't recommend it for long drives like road trips or anything.

4500k would be a very good quality white light that leans towards a warmer white which is best for depth perception - as opposed to 5000k which is also very white but is a cooler white that leans comparatively toward a bluish cast.

See my sig for the link to the HID group buy; page 1 has a lot of good info.

I couldn't help it

I actually found this thread through your signature lol.

Like I said, I want the brightest possible light I can get, something very usable. I had blue headlights when I had my truck and I might as well have been using a flashlight. They SUCKED. So I don't ever want blue headlights again. Practicality before cosmetics. Besides, blue headlights wouldn't look good on my car anyway. The reason I want a bright light is because I live WAYYY out in the country. I totalled one Celica out, I've wrecked this one, and the other day, I just about wrecked it again, all on deer. So I need a bright light for night driving so I can see the deer when they are a little further away lol. Like I said, I modified my 9005 bulbs to fit my 9006 low beams, and that helped a lot, but it's still not enough. So now I'm seriously considering spending the money for HID's, since I hear so much about them. But only if they'll actually help me out.
