i found some for like 130 or so but im not sure the kind... i think the speed3 takes the h7. also i know the 3000k is yellow on the ground and the 5000k meets stock look damn near exact. does anyone have any suggestions on the heat preference. i like the stock look but also like the yellow...if its not bright ass yellow. maybe someone has some installed i could check out. thanks

4100k-4300k offer the highest lumen output and will be the closest to pure white light you can get. 3000k will be very yellow and will have a lower output. 3's with stock halogens use h7 bulbs.

Go for 41/4300k, as that's what all US cars come with from the factory. Make sure they're properly rebased.
Philips electronics + Philips capsules ONLY. Sylvania/OSRAM capsules are fine too. Anything else will probably be some shitty knock-off that breaks in a year.

HID is a safety item in my opinion, so spending a bit on it is worth it. The difference is amazing.

If our stock xenon's are 4100-4300k and that's what most have, why is it that I think some cars burn hotter? Saab 9-3's look really purple so they must be up near 6000k.
Any thoughts on this?

some of the projectors look like the glass has been tinted as well...like the first thing i noticed on the evos was that when i looked closely at the headlights (when they were off) the glass seemed a bit turqoise.
plus...because of the way the projection housing works, the cut-off of the beam of light has a "rainbow" effect, so if your eyes are at the exact level you should be able to see more colors of the spectrum, and not just the color of the bulb. a lot like a prism. that's why when you see one coming towards you at night you can see purple or blue colors
