lol but what brightnesses should i be buying ? 4300k 6000k 8000k??? which is the best

If you have to buy one (although i recommend hids4u.co.uk if you insist) you want 6000k as this is the closest to natural light. After 6000 it gets bluer and bluer (i.e. chavvy and sh!t!)

Funny that, how we pidgeon hole something into catagories like chavvy. Why cant it just be "i personally dont like them"

I have 8000hid kit and yes its blue but so is my mates brand new m3 and there standard, is his car also chavvy ?

I would say if you like em buy em, but remember they are illegal though

No your mate has xenons (like i do) which emit 6000k and have a blueish tinge to them. You have 8000k HIDs (actually have less output than good oem bulbs, how ever much you may believe yours are better)
