Default H.I.D light conversion questions.

I found a place where they sell H.I.D conversion kits pretty cheap, http://www.streetpros.com/product_li...onversion_Kits . I've been looking at this model ( http://www.streetpros.com/product_in...ucts_id/68470/ ) and I have a few questions.

First off, I know 6000K is like a white-glow, and 10000K is like a really prominent blue, but what does 8000K look like in a realistic environment? I've heard 8000K is the most popular color temp choice.

Second, I assume the install for the kit isn't difficult or terribly time consuming?

Lastly, does anyone know anything about the kit I am looking at or the website that's selling them? Are there any better alternatives?

Thanks guys.

i have the 10k, they are blue looking at them but project more of a white light onto the road, and people say they dont put out as much light, but i dont really see that to be honest, my 10k's light up the road

i got standard, if you look in the pic here, i double side taped mine on the cross bar there and it fits fine with the headlight, you can just barely see part of it in this picture in the very bottom right hand corner



EDIT: just realized this is a terrible picture but you can kinda see it there lol
