I've had both 12000 and 8000. 12000 definitely looks awesome but light output kinda sucks. For the lowbeams def. Don't go over 8000K. The high beams are halogen bulbs anyway but I put in the MTEC cosmos blue which match the headlights nicely. If you're going to upgrade the headlights you should def. upgrade the fogs to hids as well so it won't look weird when you have blueish headlights and then yellow fogs. I have everything in stock right now

thanks alot that was where i was going... i think 8000k for low beams and 10000k or 12000k for high beams would look cool but the visible-ness would be bad so i might just match it 8000k also..
