HID Lights

Hi, its been awhile since I have been here, glad to be back I have a quick question.

I have a 2011 Camaro RS changed my 4000K HID to 8000K HID I did however buy them on Amazon, they do not seem bright enough at all, especially in the rain. Any suggestions what would be very bright? where I live is very little street lights.

I am not sure if my HIDs I bought were 35W or not, but any help would so greatly be apprciated..

Hope this isn't a repost..

Thnx

Rob

The higher you go in the kelvin range the less light output you get. 4500k - 6000k is your best bet.

Standard is 35w, not sure if going higher is better or worse. Someone with better knowledge may chime in. When I do decide to change bulbs I'll go with these guys, they are forum vendors.
