what the is an hdi?

and a net set of projectors?


i think the answer to your question would be as follows....

UM YEAH, 8000k HID's will work. Its just the bulb temp
(brightness). has nothing to do with the projectors themselves.


Just for being a dick, i posted some pictures to help ya out. because I feel bad

HID Colors and Temps




HID color
temperature refers to the degrees (K) , which simply the measures of the color for the lighting output, like golden yellow, white, crystal white, blue …

Degree (k) refers only to the color, while lumen refers to the lighting intensity. So the higher the color temperature (degrees K) doesn’t mean a higher light intensity (lumen). Here is the summary for the common color temperature on the market --

3000K (Golden Yellow) , 4300K (Bright White), 5000K (white), 6000K (Crystal White),8000K (Crystal Blue), 10000K (Aqua Blue), 12000K (Purple-Blue).

5000K or 6000K are the most popular color temperature, and if you are planning to buy the hid kits with 10000K or over, please be careful about the legal issue in your country. Most of the 12000K or 14000K (purple) are using off road only.

well sorry for lending a helping hand! Throw in some HID's and you'll be much happier with your projectors. Which gen did you get?

i'll tell you from experience, the 2nd gens are hands down the EASIEST ones to install. Since everything (halo's and LEDS) come prewired. Ive had mine on my car for 2 years and they are just now starting to show some wear and tear. However, the 3rd gens look mad cool and they aren't hard to wire up. I've got a brand new set sitting in my garage that I dont feel like installing because I'm missing a stock wiring harness for the light. If your interested I'll sell them to you for mega cheap. They are black housing's however

4300 is NOT yellow at all.

It's OEM K color usage.

Nite Shadez man.... you can buy a can on ebay for about 8 bucks plus shipping. **** is awesome.

I taped over the back up lights and cut out the circle so it was the only thing covered. Then I sanded them lightly and sprayed 3 coats of niteshadez, then when they dried, did one more coat. Wait 24 hours and sprayed a gloss over it. Light penetrates awesome, and not ONE cop has complained about them. And ive been pulled over ungodly amounts


here you go man: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VHT-N...mZ270610407646
