parthiban Did you buy an LE (is the paint light grey)? If not then it won't have HIDs whatever year it is.

And also recommend just getting an HID kit - 6500K won't be too blue, 4-5000K is closest to white, 6500K will be white with a bit of blue in it.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. It definitely does not had HID, so I'll order a kit shortly.

The angel eyes I have received are 8000k. Does it matter which HID kit I purchase? I wouldn't want to order a 4300k kit, and discover the blue angel eyes will bleed through the pure white light. That's probably not possible but in my head, it makes perfect sense, lol Wink

So there is some sense to my logic, lol.

Thanks for that. I'll order the 6k then. Nice and white but not too blue for the boys in blue, lol.

Thanks,

Yep that does make sense, the 8000K angel eyes would make 4300K look really yellow or make the angel eyes look really blue.

Shouldn't have any trouble really, I had 8300K HIDs for years and never had any issues. Did get bored of the blue colour after a while though and now have 5000K Smile
