Hi guys, can anyone explain me about the difference between h1, h2, h3 h4 hid kits?

I know I should use a 9006 socket and 55w but the h1 stuff in the description is a mistery to me.

Also, I don't decide between 6k and 8k. What do you guys think?

Thanks

They refer to the style of bulb or connector they come with. Meaning a car that takes a h1 bulb would not need a h4 bulb as the housing or connector might be different. In another way every bulb in a category will have a different size glass bulb and its focal point and filament will be different or designed to a specific spec for that headlight reflector.

As for 6k vs 8k. Those will both be blue... the 8k more purple. You can look every where online and get a color chart that shows that 6k is pure white and another listing it as deep plasma blue. Truth is that O.E.M. H.I.D. bulbs "D2S" are rated at 4300kelvin and are very brilliant white and color shift "change color as they get older" Blue tint does NOT help you. It hurts you. I will be doing a write up with in the next week or two on a retrofit with true projectors.

You mention 9006 bulbs... thats your low beam right? I gotta look at the posting rules first but I strongly suggest you look for Philips Xtreme Power 9006 HB4 bulbs. I have a link to a reliable and CHEAP store... I am confident those low beams will illuminate the road way better for you than the 35watt hid kit. these will plug into your stock harness and not require anything but plug and play. I think these low beams will be a huge upgrade over even your high beams!

Enough for now.. lmk if you want more info...
