It's all in the cutoff!








BTW these are with 5000k bulbs.

 

I had some 10k and didn't like it at all. Got 6 k and 3 k for inspection purposes only and 6 k fogs.

 

I've got 6k and 8k that I switch back and forth. Gotta stay fresh

 

your cutoff is kinda leanin to the side... but that is a clean cut off.. what are you usin??

 

Ive had 6K, 8K, and 10K. I like them all. lol 6k was obviously the brightest.

 

Just ordered some 5000k h1's for the morimotos and 5000k for the fogs :

 

i just ordered 6k for fogs and headlights 8)

 

It was just the bare projector sitting on a stool, I was playing with the sharpness and color, I didn't have it mounted on anything. These are the Mini H1s that buyhids.com sells, with a very small modification. My camera isn't picking it up because it's dim, but the cutoff color is almost 5 inches thick. I love it.

 

Got 30k. Reason not for brightness lol. I like blurpule

 

ooo thats a nice cutoff for the minis... I got a set comin in soon, I'm glad to see that thinking bout doin some dual halo retros...

JAWAA!??!?!?! 10ks are purple as **** I'd have to see some 30ks

 

Lol ill have to take some pics.. Its bue purple i can see in daylight lol

 

The key to minis is to remove the washers on the top two screws that hold on the lens holder. Leave the locking washer, but remove the thin flat washer. It removes the slight bowing the cutoff has, and increases color a little bit along the center.

 

Looks blue but isn't, that's like giving you a steak that taste like chicken. Hey, at least it looks like that 30 dollar steak you just paid for!

I dig the illumination of blue. I see far enough, any brighter and I feel like it's too bright. Even with projectors they manage to get into peoples eyes. No such thing as a perfect road.

 

I have 6K in my retros and clear lenses/spacers. Talk about a nice blue at the cut-off.

 

And this is what they look at when your eyes aren't in the cutoff line, nice pure white.

 

craftsman ftmfw! ha i work at sears

 

I honestly think it depends on the company. My 10k's are blue...like aqua blue. And bright as ***** in my Gen4's

 

Anything above 6k is pointless. It's like driving in rain with candles lit in your headlights. You aren't going to see ****.

Everyone who wants color because of OEM hids; it's all in the lens itself, not the BULB!

BAHHH, gotta have 14k hids to look like a BMW!

Fail.

 

Pretty sure I see just fine in the rain at night. Better than my stock halogens. Better than my stockers with HIDs...I'm sure a true retrofit would be better...but these Gen4's are just fine.

 

I have 8k. but i failed at installing them in my gen4s yesterday

but i got the fogs in just fine haha. seems like they light up alot. even to the sides haha

 

Gen4 has a nice light output? my gen1 headlight sucked with light output even with hids. they made a horrible pattern and threw no light down the middle of the road for me, it was all off to the sides.

 

Looks great!

ill be getting my kit from BuyHids.com soon, so im gonna use your advise about the washers, Thanks!

 

Everyone needs to chill out about 12000K HIDS being no good. They're fine, if not GREAT. Light output freaks gives me the chills. It's a style, you aren't going to die because you can't see 2 miles in front of you.

 

6k low beams and 6k's in the driving lights.

Definitely like it. Though I want to go retrofit with some 6k 55w hids

 

I'm about to buy a retro kit. My gen 4's are ok but not great
