BMW does not use Ultinons (6000K),they use 4100K bulbs. The reason for the purple you see at times is due to the projector's prismatic effect. Only a very small area of the beam is this hue,the rest is white.MidShipCivic said:12k is bad that will put out no light on the road.

Correction : BMW used 6000k.
You guys will learn nothing is better than 4300k.

Does anyone know where I can get a good deal on a conversion kit for my SC? I wanted to do the retro-fit but unless someone wants to give me $600 dollars I won't be able to afford the $1000 price tag! Let me know if anyone can get any killer deals!
Try MVPMotorsports.com. Dusty the owner has been a Supra owner for many years and may know if his Philips or Phoenix kits will fit your SC4. At the risk of oversimplification, I'm guessing if you have 9006 projectors for low beams, then they'll work as well as they do on the Supra. His prices are in the $560-$600 range for these kits. If that's still too dear, check the For Sale area http://www.supraforums.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=8 of SupraForums, and there's usually 1-2 sets of used HID's for sale there. I think a set sold last week for only $150 or so. You'll have to register on their home page: www.supraforums.com before you can access the For Sale area.6spdSC4 said:I have decided to go with a nice set of Philips 4300k HIDs after reading up on them I think the 4300 is the safest and best choice.
