Sum guys have got 6k hid's, i take it 8k is even brighter!!!!!! But probably very expensive and could be spent a lot better imo but it's your car and everything!!!!

8k isnt brighter its more purple than white. 6k is the lightest you really want to go, its got a very pleasant blue/purple tinge but also lights the road up (to be honest slightly less than 6k is perfect but its not as pretty!) 8k light may look brighter when staring at it from in front but purple light doesnt travel as far as orange/white light, police might not like them either). As a random aside, this is why street lights are amber, it simply gives better light.
Sooo, as I said 6k is as far as you need to take it.

Apparantly u get alittle more power from tuning an AQX over an AYP doubt its anything to write home about tho!

Maybe its just X with a few run ons into Y reg then? :shrug:

as far as i know no ibiza cupra is non dbw no matter what engine code

and tuning one better over the other is bollocks and just things people like to say. the only difference i actually thought existed was no post lambda on the aqx
