i put some 6000k H.I.D. lights on my car today, they arent just cheap bulbs, they are the real thing...this was the best pic i can get, they look awesome in person and light up the road like crazy! so clear and white...im hopefully getting a better camera tomorrow or the next day so ill use that for new pictures.

 

Very nice. were did u get them from, what company i mean, and how much were they

 

I hope he doesn't mean 6000K for cost...lol.

 

hehe oh god thats just a bit to pricey for me lol

 

How are they working out, thats about the only thing im looking at getting, and i am ready to get them, where did you get them, price, and any other info would be awesome, i want some!

btw, they look bright, try to get some more pix, i'd like to see more angles

 

I would definitely like to do HID on my Cobalt when I do eventually get one. Any warranty implications of doing it ? difficulty ?

 

AHHH warranty i hate warranties (i think) im afraid of modifying my car because of warrantees can some please explain the process of voiding warranties

 

changing bulbs isnt going to void your warranty at all.

 

u can do anything u want to a car except mabe nos and not void your warranty!
but if something goes wrong and they prove that your after market part was the cause then say bye bye to your wnty

 

Yup. When my cousin got his focus he put in some bulbs, screwed up the housing. They wouldnt touch it.

 

WHy do people fear warranties soo much... listen its simple if you change it its void thats thats nothing else. Obviously if you put HID's into your car dont go to the dealer if they blow but if you motor stops working the next day they arent going to be like sorry you changed your headlights.

 

HID's without a projector retrofit are a TERRIBLE idea. I feel sorry for all oncoming traffic. Plus the fact that if they are 6000K odds are they are cheap knockoff bulbs.

OEM HID for Acuras/Audis/BMWs is all 4100-4300K. The purple/blue color comes from the projectors.

 

Yeah that is a downside that they dont look right becuase they arent suppsed to be there and hope you dont get pulled over for em

 

those are super clean, nice mod esp for a nonSC(right?)
i want details tho
is it the full kit with pwersupply and all


i highly doubt any body is gonna hassel you for them, esp. the dealer
after all they dont see the car at night, even for service

my auto lights didnt even switch on in the dark service bay anyway

 

yes they were 285 bucks from xenonking.com, great people to deal with, VERY VERY easy to install, installation is on their site, no wire splicing or anything, the way the cobalts headlights are shaped project the light pretty good onto the road and it isnt very spread out to the sides, in return not blinding the oncoming traffic, i had my friend drive past me at a few different angles and the light never shined in my face, so im not too worried about it, the other thing is cameras cant capture how awesome the street lights up from them, its soo white and just amazing, very worthwile mod, i have some more pics here they are

 

Kool. I just think HID on car that dont have the right headlight housing dont need them. To much glare.

 

$300 is pretty expensive for an un-needed bulb replacement... but hey, it looks great!

 

That sounds wayyy to expensive... what exactly did you get??? just bulbs??? I hope not... I have lights in my Cavy that light up the road brighter than the brightest sunlight and they only cost me 25 bucks......

 

no its not just bulbs, its an actual HID set up, with the ballasts and transformers and bulbs, it looks much better in person probably one of the best things ive ever done with any of my cars. i had just upgraded bulbs in before and i thought they were clear and bright, then i did the HID kit and i dont think i can ever use normal bulbs again, plus 300 is cheap for HID kits, just look for yourself, i was lucky and caught a group purchase deal from jbody.org. i had eurodezigns bulbs in before, they are nothing compared to these HID's and in my cav i have silverstars, and they look yellow now

 

H.I.D. Hight Intensity Discharge, not cheap ****, and are brighter as the K goes down, 5000K is brighter the 6000K, higher the K more color, not just regular bulbs guys, i got 5000K coming in soon for my SS

 

The lower the "K" or correctly known as Kelvin’s does not mean the brighter they are. Kelvin’s are a measurement of temperature of a light source. I specify fluorescent bulb by Kelvin’s also, it's not just HID. Also HID include metal halide, High-pressure sodium, and sulfur bulbs. Normally these are used for area lighting, i.e. parking lots. Yes they are using metal halide bulbs in cars now because the cost for the ballast and bulb has come down so much. Back to Kelvin’s..... The lower the Kelvin the more red to yellow the light color is. The higher the Kelvin’s the more blue to violet the color is. Ideal color range (other wise known as white light) is between 3600-4800 Kelvin’s. Halogen bulbs are the closes manufactures have been able to make "white light". There are many reasons car manuf. use halogen besides white light, cost, lumens per watt, and so on. Yes metal halide (HID) is better lights if used correctly. I am astounded daily on how many lumens a metal halide bulb can make per watt, and they last about 3-4 times longer then an incandescent (halogen) bulb. The only real down about metal halide is the color and cost

 

Wrong. The brightest HID's are about 4100-4300K

 

all i know is mine are bright and i love em, and typically whiter=brighter

 

not to **** you off but I must repeat this..... Kelvin has nothing to do with brightness, it deliniates color range. Brightness is deliniated by lumens, which is closely related to wattage.

the less color in the light, the more white light it puts out, meaning brighter
