Rappey you miss the point mate.
Xenons are not for OFFROAD use pal ? on our types of cars....
Do you drive in fields then ?
Oh, and I have 3 different cars with HIDs, one has 6ks ( they are ALL philips branded ) the other 2 are both 4.3k mate, and I can asssure you the 4.3k are better for ROAD use.
For long distance use, I would use a BEAM HID 55w or some proper halogens with a proper reflector anyhow, as you'd nver get good light spread on dipped lights, which is still what these are.
Anyhow, what makes you think my comment about not looking past 20ft is aimed at you ?? unless you really don't look that far ahead when you drive ( day or night ? )
FACT, most people who "ask" for 6k, do it because they like the blue "hue" the lamp generates, rather than actually care about illumination & the lumen output of the lamp, FACT.
True some cars ( Mercs, Lexus etc.. ) do supply cars with 6k, but this is usually more for looks.
Up to you what you want in your headlights & feel free, as long as you are happy mate.
I'm just adding some advice ( balanced from an ownership view, have you experience of 4.3 & 6k kits then ( lame or not lol ? ) I'd be interested to hear your views, or are they massively different from mine bud ? )
damn ! almost forgot, from memory the 6k units are not even made as factory fit by philips, as the 4.3k units are the only legal ones IIRC, whereas anything upwards is for off road use / other applications ( no idea what that means ! ) so much so, I ended up going back to the yellower brighter 4.3ks on my 3rd car !
