hmm i mean my friend has a 10000k kit and they dont seem blue at all. has a hint of blue..yes hint.

where can u get these bulbs if i want to go with a like 6000k bulbs...my friend kit he is sellin comes with 10000k..i want white..wut wud those b

 

everytime someone says they are getting hids theres always one person whos like NOOOOO DONT DO IT YOU ARE STUPID BLAH BLAH BLAH!! who cares. ever listen to dane cook? his joke about the monkey and he goes "whenever i say to some people something like yeah i want a monkey for a pet that would be awesome, theres always that one person who goes, no thats a terrible idea, monkeys cant be pets" thats like you guys with hids. chillax people

 

dude. i have projectors. i was waiting to see who was gonna be a dick and flame me without know the facts

dude just get 10000k for christ sake. mods lock this

 

I care. because i ******* hate being blinded by them on the roads.

and I hate that HID lighting gets a bad name, because of people who half ass it and blind the crap out of everyone.

 

sorry i couldnt help myself

 

so back to my quetion...how blue is 10000k...does a lower number project farther? i mean ive seen cars taht are really ****** blue..is that 10000k or higher?

 

im sick of all the bitching and moaning on this site. let people do what they want. no wonder i barely post here anymore

 

i know i sound like a broken record.

but i could care less. if someone like me doesnt try to educate people on them, how will they learn.
The amount of time i spend on this site answering PMs about HIDs and Projectors would probably shock you. but i feel like im at least contributing to the community by helping people understand how to do it properly.


4.3k = standard white ---brightest
6k = hyperwhite (very very slight blue) -----still very bright
8k = pure blue -----less bright but still good
10k = purpleish blue ----only slightly better than a good halogen

10k+ waste of money

 

people always forget their brights and yeah for about 2 seconds i have to squint and look away (which if you learned in driving school you are supposed to follow the white line on the side of the road anyway and not look into blinding lights) but you know what after about 5 seconds its over with and your eyes are not damaged at all and you are perfectly ok. now if you get blinded by hids and have to have laser eye surgury because of a burnt retina or some of your rods and cones are fucked up, then sure bitch all you want about blinding lights, but until then, who really gives damn

amen
/thread

 

here is a little chart to help you

 

can someone answer my question and stop bitchin

 

as i have the annoying prob with leds in the projectors. like a pm a day. WHy me?

 

i need help aiming my hids... they are pointed more right and left and i have a case of the big black hole in the center...

 

wow i post a thread for ppl to help me..and not bitch about HIDS..holy crap guys.

 

your question has been answered like 4 times dude. theres even a damn chart wth?

 

AHEM



indeed. there is actually 2 charts

 

then i asked..wut has the better like distance..are they all the same

 

refer to the chart. look the same to me

 

distance hids are longer then halogens. and it will seem as the lighter colors will get more distance then say purple or blue just becasue its a more pure light

 

4300 will give you the most lighting performance period.

me personally, i found 6k to be basically the same performance, but a nicer color.

8k is sexy as hell, love the color the most out of all of them, but theres a slight drop in lighting performance (still far better than a silverstar)

10k is a little to purplish for me, ive seen 10k look blue, or purple. i think it depends on the manufacturer. the loss in lighting compared to 4300-6k is quite noticable (still better than a halogen, but not by alot)

anything past 10k is a joke.
you lose lighting performance exponentially, and you might as well save your money and buy colored halogens.

 

Here is a crappy picture of my HIDs, however mine are done.... ::cough cough:: Properly. HID Retrofit with 6000k Philips D2S Bulbs.



Here is my challenge to you guys... Make those HID kits in your stock lenses look like mine.

 

i've seen those 30k ones in a rsx before and it really is rediculous...no need for them

 

I think at 12k you can't see ****, at 30.... your burning your battery for nothing.

 

switt i didnt see th pic..lol

 

Should i make it bigger?
