Its a D2S Bulb.
I would suggest 8000k over 10000k though. 8k would have a blueish tint, the 10k will be more blueish green. I have them for $50 shipped w/ lifetime warranty, and obviously better customer service if they wouldn't take the time to check the #'s for ya. ![]() edit; these are for Stock hids correct? Or, did the previous owner put in a kit? |

As far as I know, the D2S is the only number you need.

I would agree with you DAlastDON I have 8000k fogs and 6000k heads and yes it looks good but function is of top priority to me over looks, thats why I did the 6000 heads.

thanks for the pic! that definitely helped me in seeing how blue it is. but you're saying the intensity isn't that great at night, right?

When you increase the the temperature, you lose actual visible light. I had 8000k bulbs before, they looked nice but I couldn't see very clearly in bad weather... Even sometimes at night, everything would just be very blue lol I went with 6000k, and personally i like them much better than 8000k
IMO, i wouldn't sacrifice the safety of being able to see for pure asthetics. |

Agreed.
6000k is best option for lamps. |

In rain/snow there is alot of light reflected back from the fog lights creating a bad glare. What makes them not so good at night is the lack of a yellow contrast to cut though the rain/snow. It is like that with most lights though. Its not a priority, but eventually i will change it up to 4000K in the fog lights for a nice yellow contrast right in front of the car. Should help out tremendously in rain/snow as far as seeing right in front of the car. The head lights, i may keep them at 8000k or i may change them out with 6000k. It would still have a hint of blue but have more white light output. I would not go above 8000k. It will give you the blue that you desire but you lose a small amount of visible light. I would not even want to drive at night with a pair of 10000k HID's. You will be happy with either 6000k or 8000k, I'm sure of it. Max power has a good product line and from what i have seen excellent customer service. I used his ballasts to replace all four of my original ballasts due to interference with my HD radio. The ones he uses are the slim digital ballasts and they cause very little degradation in the FM reception. |

Hopefully it'll have a nice contrast. Can anyone tell me what the stock HID's are that come with the 04 max? the output is white so i'm guessing they're 4000k?? |

As was stated, 6K is the highest you would want to go. Any higher and you are losing light output. Going with 8K, or 10K is also just aking to be pulled over....IMHO!

Yeah stick with 6000k because you will lose visibility. And 6000 is white with a tiny hint of blue so it is perfect. I have 6000k heads and fogs and they are perfect, but I'm thinking of s witching the fogs to 3000. My 07 that has factory HID needed D2S bulb.

Does the 6000k cause street and highway signs to light up and sometimes reflect and blind you if you happen to be looking at them. Does it make anything with a reflective surface on it stand out more?
