Exclamation HID Headlights for 2008 Mazda 3???

Hello All,


I own a 2008 Mazda 3 I Touring. Over the past week I have been shopping around for a pair of HID Headlights for my car. I few questions before I buy...I hope someone can help.

Do you prefer 4300K or 6000K? I heard 4300K provides more light on the road.

Do I need to purchase or change my existing headlight console? Can I just purchase an install a HID conversion kit?

You don't need to change the headlight console. Installation isn't that bad just follow the directions and you should be fine. I installed 10,000k cool blue kit

I put 6000K in mine, they were to Blue when I looked at them, although the light was good, then I put the 4300K in and they are a little brighter and a lot whiter when looking at the car.
I will still probable put 3000K in the fog lights.

I've had a bunch of different color outputs for my car. I started off with 8000K, then 6000k, 5000k, and now i have 4300k. I live out in the country, and the best one is the 4300k. It's bright and lights up the road well. You see everything. It has a more yellow output, but it is suppose to mimic the the sun around noon, and it does a good job at it. My advice it to make sure you get a bulb with the black adapter so the bulb will fit in the clip. I found an old post with the adapter im talking about. I also have the different light outputs on the car. I don't have the 4300k because i only put them in about 4 months ago. The post was written well over a year ago.
Good luck
