I just recently put in 10000k Hids in my headlights and fogs and the install was easy and they look way better while driving then the stock lights but i bought the 10000k because i wanted the really blue look and they just look white so idk why they are like this....thoughts?


My car




10k on other cars

 

are they 55w ballasts? the 55w drop 2-3k iirc.

 

don't remember would it say right on the ballast?

 

each brand is different

I have 2 different 6K brands and they look completely different and they're both 35w

 

sry i haven't dealt with HIDs in person just what i've seen/read on here...so i cant really help you anymore lol

 

the thing is the sites pictures from their products show it being really blue as well

Shoulda went with DDM. Half the price and those look closer to 6k

 

It could also be the camera taking the pics. Some cameras don't handle the white balance nearly as well.

 

Found your problem from the website you posted

"The ballast and the bulb in this kit have passed the most stringest OEM specific test by Toyota (Denso) of Japan"

we all know what's wrong with them these days lol

 

Wonder if they just sent the wrong bulbs. Were they clearly labeled when you got them or were they labeled at all?

 

Same question..in for post count

 

Looks like I should of gone with ddm and 35w lol I would of saved some cash but o well, and they might be sending me some 12k's free of charge so maybe it'll look more like 8k

 

you answered your own question

 

thought id let everyone know they sent me 12k bulbs for fogs and headlights free of charge and i put them in and they are much more to my liking

12K is on the left and 10K is on the right



12K at night (has a hint of purple)

 

well that was nice of them. looks good.

 

did you use a relay harness for your hid's? my fogs and my headlight hids flicker like a ****! they are 12k as well but 55W so it looks whiter than yours, but bright as hell. They only flicker when engine is running.

 

+1. I like the new ones alot better

 

wait for them to adjust, say about 50 hours, like a break in period for HID light

 

what? are you joking? I sure hope so.

 

these are 55w too and no i didnt use the relay, i hooked it up and it didnt work with it so i took it off and pulled the drl fuse and ive had zero flicker

 

I cant find a drl fuse for the ss/sc, or any automatic headlight fuse for that matter. Don't know why mine flicker.

 

you want to be careful about going from 8k to 12k because cops will definitely harass you depending on the area you live in.

 

yes, the hids do have a break in period, they get MUCH blue-er over time. and moranjames89, if your car is an 05-06, you will not have a drl fuse because your parking lights are your drls and go with the parking light fuse.

 

that's why I went with 9007 35w 6000k for the relay harness to avoid problems later.

 

does anyone know how to get my 06 ss/sc's hids to stop flickering than, I have a wiring harness for them, but would rather fix the problem without them.
