Best Xenon HID kit for scion frs GT86 ?

[dssence]

Hi guys do any of you know a good solid HID xenon kit i'm looking in highest lumens range I know highest led in lumens can't compare to xenon hid lighting.
Was looking something in 12000k range , I think those give a purplish color or i'm mistaken.
I've seen these from diode dynamics don't know if they're quality stuff. I've heard many people saying some do a high pitch humming noise which is a bit unbearable.

Just drop any ideas.

Somehing I always confuse myself. These are only for high beams ? Do our frs have both high low in the same halogen package ?

My gf got her xenon 6000k's from http://www.xenonlightshid.com/
I put them in for her a few years ago, and they've been great. Zero problems, and the field of vision was vastly greater than her previous headlights. I just ordered some for me a few days ago. Lifetime warranty for 10 bucks too.

just fyi:

and you do not want anything higher then 8000k at an absolute maximum. 4000k is the brightest hid kit, and every shade higher adds some blue to the output which diminishes the amount of usable light, every step making the lights less usable at night and ends up looking like part of the circus ran away.

Yeah I read that too. Anything past 6000k IMO is asking for trouble. The way my gf's 6000k's look, compare pretty similar to the HIDS you'd see on a stock BMW. Higher the K, higher chance to get busted.

i think every k over 9k is illegal in california... i have zero evidence to support that lol. but yea visit the vendor subforums theyve got some good deals on quality over in that section

I believe the laws regarding legality was....

Every non-factory HID kit was deemed illegal....it's just the level of enforcement similar to tint.

It's all up to the officer's discretion if the officer is willing to enforce that statute.

heres my suggestion. purple headlights is a terrible idea but if you want purple up front, go with a r/b/g led halo and get a normal range HID for your lighting needs. that way you get the purple you want for show and what not and have the front still be somewhat legal and useable

Hey to all of you guys in this thread, the point of the question wasn't which Xenon HID to be used for a circus like thing heh
(cause of the purple tone I said). I've been trying to find some led headlights for high beams which could replace Xenon HIDS but even highest lumens from CREE leds don't achieve wide angle and distance like Xenons HID's do.
So the point of the thread was.. taking into account there are cheapo xenon HIDS which i've seen lot's of vids those lights start doing a high pitch humming noise. Do all of the kits start to humm ? , some do offer AC ballast which say give more working hours on the bulbs, so other says the ballast are shock proof. how much is true and how much is false or myth about all that.
That's my main concern. Something else do our FRS , in my case I do own a Toyota 86 FT cause i'm in argentina. Which is the base stock model from the US like the Scion FRS. going again to the question. Do xenon hids have High / Low beams or only HIGH BEAMS ?
now going back to the purplish color of the beam I said before.. was cause I thought the purple tone regarding 12000k could give a wider view angle and more distance.. When you talk about 6000k , 8000k it's just about the color of the xenons or the intensity in watts?
Tnx

My factory HID's humm on my 10 series.

my cheap ebay hid's didnt hum that much. my current expensive morimotos do hum quite loudly, maybe because i have 4 bulbs and ballasts. its not that annoying imo

hid kits do not have high low beams. hid gets high and low from a shutter within the projector. im not that familiar with the gt86's headlights but if you look, you should be able to tell if the hi/low's both go through the projectors or (in the case of the frs), only low beam is in the projector and highbeam is a seperate bulb located in the non lensed section of the headlight.
