I have 6k lights, would probably try 4300k next time. apparently merc and BMW etc mainly use 4300, personally I occasionally think the 6k are a tiny bit too blue.

for dipped and main wont you need bi-xenon? I enquired about it ages ago to a dealer and he said you need a kit that does both and due to a massive delay (using 2x H.I.D Kits) on full beams turning on it makes flashing pointless and the fix for this was some kit i think was called bi-xenon but not cheap.

They at the right height?
They look low to me.

What's the best way of aligning them at home - I know my grandad used to have marks on the garage wall for various cars he owned for where the light beam should be when at a certain distance from the wall - what's the formula so I can check mine are adjusted correctly?

That's the easy way :)

From doing a bit of digging - pull up to a wall and mark the centre of your headlights on it - drive back 25ft in a straight line and the top of your light beam should be 2.5" below that mark - I'd imagine it works the same for shorter distances - 15ft is 1.5" and 10ft is 1" :)
