Default ddm tuning

Hello everyone, I have a 2001 a4. I am going to be converting to HID and I plan on buying the 35w kit from ddm tuning. I am going for a crisp white look not a blueish look and wasn't sure whether to order the 5000k or 6000k lights. Any help is greatly appreciated.

-Thank you

6000K

Lower number more white increased visibility and distance, higher number more blue but less visibility and distance.

yea i have the 35watt 6000k kit from them and its got some blue in it but not at all blue blue to where it looks cheesy.. if you want a bright white light go with 4300k or 5000k.. also the 55watt kits wash out some of the color, so you might see more blue in a 5000k 35watt kit versus a 55watt one..

I have the 6000k kits in my low beams and fogs. PM me a phone number and I can text you pics of how they look, both in the headlights and from behind the wheel.

Is it hard to do a HID conversion?

if i ever get the d2s adapters ill take a pic of my 55w 6000k.... they say the 55w is brighter but loses some of its color... so 55w 8000k would look like 35w 6000k... so my 55w 6000k are prolly gonna be like the 5000k
