6000k still white but with a little blue, and you can still see far away

Kolt

i went with 6k, its bright and you see well and it gives a nice blue tinge to the light. not to blue that it washes out but not to white so it doesnt look as nice. ps. intrested in selling your first gen projectors?

anyone answer my question about painting stock headlights and glare???

BPacak

not too sure because i never did it, but you wont have a chance of making stock housing look like projectors.

i was trying to find a pic in the stock housing but i couldnt find it. wont look as good as this though.

Ive been trying to get someone to post output photos of hids in stock housing against a garage for a while. No one will do it...

BPacak

there was a pic in the everything to know about hids thread but it got deleted. and it just looked horrid

I'm not surprised. I figure no one will post a photo of it cus they know it has a horrible beam pattern and don't want to be hated on for having such shitty dangerous lights

I think were thinking different things altogether. I thought either way he was gonna put hids in the stock housing. I was telling him to save the money and do it himself. I wasn't referring to glare at all. I always recommend retrofits, but if someone does not have the money to spend on them, I'm not gonna bother explaining them.

It's how all the professional retrofitters seal up headlights, and is how OEM lights are sealed. You can actually buy the OEM sealer that Nissan uses, which is the same thing as window weld.

Kolt

ill do it when i get a chance. i have 6k in stock housings

Kolt

they are really not as bad as you would think. yes they are indeed shitty bright but **** man. its no worse than a truck with its low beams and fogs in our faces. even i know you have to admit we cant see crap when a truck is going by

go with 6,000k. I used to have 10,000k headlight and fog light and was using the stock housing. You will be perfectly find using the stock housing, just aim them down and you won't bug oncoming traffic one bit. Now I have 6,000k Retrofits from buyhids.com and still running the 10,000k fog lights and I can tell a major difference in the brightness of the two. When i get the extra money I will for sure be buying the 6,000k bulbs for the fog lights as well. My biggest suggestion would be to jump on the new retrofits the buyhids.com just came out with and go with the 6,000k.

The problem is that no one on here parks at the correct distance. Lighting patterns should be judged at about 20-25 feet. Everyone here likes to park 5 feet away, so of course glare would be hidden from that close up.

BPacak

yeah i was looking for pics on google and people are parking like a few feet from the garage haha

I know they're not cobalts, but this should help with comparisons a bit.
