Default Those of you that have 7000k or 6000k HIDS.

I've read that too really be brighter the highest you want to go is 6000k. The 7000k make the lights appear bluer correct. Are the 7000k good or should I go with the 6000k. I'm looking for feedback from people with either. Oh yeah, does anybody have a phone number for misterjung.com, and how is this company to work with?

The higher the number also means they're less bright correct?

pretty much, the lower the number, the more pure white they are so they will be brighter

instead of using mirrors to reflect the light off of the bulb, it uses a projector lens to focus the light onto the road

With that explanation, does a kit found on www.misterjung.com for my SS use a projector lens?

Do these kits really work that well?

without the projector you won't get the look you want. it won't be a crisp beam. it'll bleed; also blinding oncoming traffic in the opposite lane.

Anybody got a pic of a projector? How do I get one for this kit? Is this something that the bulb sits in. I don't want to buy this kit and find out it doesn't really work that well, or that I should of bought this instead of that.

first they dont make projectors for camaros, at least ive never seen one... they can be custom made but they just wouldnt look right... as for the 6000k, thats what i have on my camaro and they look awsome, 7000k is more towards purple, and the high k you get the less light you have... ill post a pic of the 6000k kit on mine...

not necessarily. there are many vehicles that have HID as OE and they dont have projectors.

From my understanding that is because they have the correct lenses that cut off the light. If you have the right lenses with correct cut offs, you don't have to have projectors.
