Hey guys,
Basically when i bought my integra, it already had HID xenon kit in it. It is two 35W AEI ballast light controls
(http://www.google.com.au/imgres?q=aei+35W+ballast&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&rls=com.microsoft:en-GB:%7Breferrer:source%3F%7D&rlz=1I7ADFA_en&biw=1920&bih=979&tbm=isch&tbnid=B5ZtDEC1hyqsBM:&imgrefurl=http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/12V-35W-Digital-Xenon-HID-Kit-Replacement-Spare-Ballast-/160593912595&docid=QLuYCjtyCaXrZM&itg=1&imgurl=http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg222/95soarer/Xenon%252520HID%252520Kit/35WAEIBallast.jpg&w=600&h=400&ei=MzlxT5_rAYqbmQWMxsHXDw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=400&sig=112959220215648343144&page=1&tbnh=146&tbnw=196&start=0&ndsp=49&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0&tx=113&ty=48).

one of the globes has blown i have no idea which ones to buy of ebay. My question is how do i determine what type of globes are suitable for this kit? as in H1 --> H7 and also what to ****K the lights should be at.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

4300k is optimum light output

thanks alot! just for clarification, would this be compatible? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-XENON-LIGHTS-HB4-9006-HID-REPLACEMENT-BULBS-PAIR-/170703613424?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27beba6df0#ht_4031wt_905 And also if i got them at 8000K would they still be compatible? thanks:)

they will fit your headlights, but you need to make sure it fits the plugs on your ballast, shouldn't need to worry i'd say.

I will not give you advice on 8000k globes. 4300k is best

8000k will be very blue

4300k is white, the most usable light temperature.

id try to keep between 4300k and 6500k

Dont get 8000k bulbs, they provide less visable light output per watt then 4300k, produce more glare than 4300k and are just down right fail. do as bludger and trism have said and keep it between 4300k to 6000k.

Heres good post about the differences in output when you change K rating

Everyone is right... 4300K is the best light output. Don't be a douche and get 8000K it's just stupid and piss drivers off.
