yes i know i know there has been many threads about hids but at the moment im thinking of purchasing hids from http://www.buyhids.com/ and idk if i want 8k or 10k, i want a color temp that keeps the cops away if you know what i mean but anyways any suggestions would help

 

Then you want 4-6k not the bluish purple 8-10k.

 

bluish purple is 12k

 

blue starts at around 6k.... I had some Nokya 7k bulbs in my old mustang and trust me they were pretty damn blue.


I ordered 6k HID's from ddmtuning and they should have a slight blue hue to them.

 

yeah here is a better chart imo

 

6k is alot bluer than it is in that chart

 

Honestly if you want to keep the cops off your case id stay between 4-6k.

8k really looks blue on a projector setup. If someone doesnt have a pic of it here I will get a pic of my friend taras Scion tc with 8ks on it. It really stands out!

Thats why I ordered 6k kits for my car. Slight blue hue yet still nice and bright. Honestly even at 6k im starting to lose light as compared to the 4-5k kits.

That's my car with 6000K in both

 

eh need night time shots man Though your driving lights appear more blue than the retrofitted mains.

 

I would go snap them now but im kinda blocked in the driveway and can't get a good distance in front of it to get good shots.

 

The retrofits look very nice though man!

 

every blue is different depends what company u pick. i got 6k and they have a tint of blue. i say 6k because its the best output IMO

 

heres 6k ddm

 

Definitely recommend DDM Tuners HID's $65 shipped and work fantastic...and as far as temp I'd go 6k.

 

i got 10ks blue. going with 6ks today tho

 

yeah even at 6k rainy nights are kinda poor visiblity but i like the subtle blue

 

Heres 8000K which is perfect. Never been pulled over by cops.

 

i dont like how photos dont do justice for HID's

 

If you want a colour that doesn't attract cops then stick with 4-6k like everyone is saying. If you want output, there is a reason why the cars with OEM projectors come with 4300k bulbs in them because that will give you the best output and distance out of the light.

 

^ thats y im going down to 6k lol. and went wingles too

 

that 8k doesnt look blue at all

 

i love my 6ks just a hint of blue, too blue is just silly n e ways no point to having your lights colored you want to put light on the road that's what matters.

 

i have 12k. looks freakin' sexy with my 1st jen projectors

 

I have 8500k. They look sweet

 

i think im gonna go with some 8k when i buy them just looks like a nice blue and almost matches what i had in my 05 altima stock hids imo which were kinda blue like the 8k. I vote for 8k but i mean its ur car so go with what u want and if the cops bother u then change it after awhile and i doubt cops will be on u if u dont drive crazy and just drive normal.
