Check this thread:
Headlight Upgrade

It has some info on conversions, and it's an H4 bulb.

9003 or h4 go with 4300k more light

4300k = more light but you loose the cool factor...

i put 5000k in my wifes jetta, and it seems to be a happy medium..

6000k or higher look great but you really start losing the usable light

I would personally never go above 6000k.. A buddy has 12000k in his mustang, while it looks amazing you cant see a damn thing on the road haha!

Yeah, it's an H4 bulb. I have DDM Tuning with 35w 6000k. They are just right. For most light output, I think 5000k would be optimal, but 6000k you get that hint of blue.

btw, for anyone that has installed these, how hard is it (esp with the hi/lo feature) to install compared to installing it in a car?
