i was wondering if anyone has the 10k hid headlight on theres there is a local guy here that has the pair for 115. i just want to know if they are brighter than stock.

 

i dont have 10k but they will be brighter than stock deffff

 

Actually 10K HID's have a very low light output. After 6k, HID light output starts to decrease. All you'll see is a purple glow while driving down the road.

Purple light had a lot of red in it. Red is a very difficult color for the eye to see, which is why it draws your attention. It also makes your eyes very tired. Have fun driving at night for long distances with 10k HID's.

 

I just dont wanna spend 115 dollars hid if they ant brighter than my 7500 xinion bulbs i bought for my stock headlights

 

Buy 6k's then

Any HID is going to be loads brighter than the same size/type xenon bulb.

 

Well i want something way brighter i live out in so ant alot of street lights and i hate having to switch in between high and low so i figured if i got something brighter i wouldnt have to do that. WHERE CAN I GET THEM FROM IM TIRED OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE

 

Color Temperature Explained:

Color Temperature: 3000K
3000K emits GOLDEN YELLOW color and offers superior *********** power during adverse weather epically in dense fog. The applications of the 3000K kit aim more towards secondary lighting apparatus such as high beam and fog lights. This is the color temperature that will catch all the attention on the road.

Color Temperature: 4300K
The light appears fairly white, and has light yellowish hue when reflected off the road identical to the OEM HID equipped vehicles. It is ideal for customers who does a lot of back road or canyon driving and need the optimal visibility.

Color Temperature: 6000K
6000K emits pure white light with very slight and barely noticeable tint of blue and purple. This color is for customers who is looking for pure performance white while improving the looks of their headlight.

Color Temperature: 8000K
ORACLE 8000K has an approximately 3000lm output, which is about 3x the light output of the traditional halogen light and slightly less light output compared to the 6000K. While it has a bit lesser light output, it emits bluer light than the 6000K.

Color Temperature: 10000K
ORACLE 10000K has an approximately 2800lm output, which is more than 2x the light output of the traditional halogen light. 10000K produces a deep blue light output approaching violet and the blue is noticeably deeper than the 8000K.

Color Temperature: 12000K
This color temperature puts out a deep bluish violet light and is deeper colored than the 10000K. It is for customer who is looking for the most extreme and most exotic looking light output.

Common HID Misconceptions:

Higher the K (Kelvin temperature) the brighter it gets- Not True, the Kelvin Scale measures color not brightness. The brightness is actually inversely proportional to the light output. 4500K HID is technically the brightest and the further you increase or decrease from 4500K the lumens (visible light) will slightly decrease.

 

I have DDM Raptor 10k's in my 3rd gens and they are no where near what I was expecting. I wanted it to be obviously blue and I was willing to accept the hint of purple. But my lights are only blue at the cut off line and the rest of the output is pure white. They are really bright. I am starting to think maybe DDM sent me the wrong kit or something??

 

Would it just be better to get some projectors with halo rings

 

i had 35w and changed to 55w this week. they say that the 55w 8000k is similar color to 35w 6000k. so i bought the 55w 8000k and they dont seem as bright. its weird. they are supposed to be 40% brighter than the smaller voltage ones. not to mention of of the lights has a slight yellowish tint to it. ....from ddm
