Ok, I've been on the fence about doing a HID kit in my 98 Suburban (9006 low-beam bulbs) (9005 high-beam bulbs) for some time, now I have decided to pony up and do it... I don't know yet if I would really need to upgrade the hi-beam lights, but it would be really nice with my 4-high-mod kit that I plan on installing at the same time as the HID's... Opinions welcome on this if the low beam HID's are enough without the high being upgraded... May do it just to save on shipping!
I'm HID stupid, so I need some help please...
#1: Do they run hotter than normal bulbs? I have aftermarket Matrix 09-1083 fixtures, they are plastic and have the metal dome that goes in front of the bulb in the low beam, hoping that won't be an issue, because I don't see a way to remove it, see pic below...
#2: I have no idea what color temperature I want to go with, I've looked at all the pics on your website and I just can't decide what I like the best, though I'm thinking the 8000k is what I'm looking for...
I can tell you that I want them really bright, because I do a ton of night driving, but I'd like them to shine super white, but have some sort of blue-ish color to them as seen from oncoming traffic to match my blue halo's in the high beam side...
In a nutshell, I want people to have no doubt that I have HID's ;)
If you can steer me in the right direction, you will have a new customer, with plenty to follow when the guys at work and my friends see them, thanks in advance, Brian
