    Need help with HID's and K temp

    So i recently got into this HID kit stuff from a buddy since he gave me a pair but he gave me ones with like insane blue which is way to bright (9006)
    What Temp are these? I got new HIDs from ddm tuning for 15 bucks (8k) and they came out not quite what i wanted.
    I want in between i want a hint of blue but not white but not insane blue. any suggestions or pictures you can show me? Lastly i got fogs with regular lights in the fogs (halogen), and i want matching to my lights so im getting those (h3) and i dont know how to put in. any suggestions let me know wanna spend my money towards what i want.

    Judging from the pics (which aren't always accurate), the top pic looks 12,000K and the bottom pic looks 6000K.

    For the most visible light, stay within the 4300K and 6000K range.
    If you want bluer light, go with 8000K or 10000K.


    As for your fogs, Nokya sells blue bulbs that closely match the color of the bottom pic.

      the second picture is 8k which really doesnt look like 8k to me maybe a mix up from ddm?! where can i get the nokya..or would it be better to just get an hid kit for my fogs from ddm? When i look at the first pictures lights on the wire it says 20k but i didnt know if the resembles the temp.

        You can get Nokya bulbs from eBay. Their hyper yellow bulbs would look great in the fogs.

          most OE HID bulbs are right around 4300k.
          they consider this closest to daylight. therefore most efficient at night.

          the higher the temp, the bluer they get (less efficient), until you go even beyond that, then they start getting purple (nothing worthy but color)...

            I wouldn't recommend going with anything over 6000K. The light ouput will suffer and you will regret it.

              yea, 4300 is pretty much OEM. 5000-6000 is white with a light blue tint with it. But anymore is...rice/horrible light out put.

                +1 on keeping it around 6000k. Though I have seen a S2000 around where i live with 30,000K purples that are insanely bright but somewhat odd.

                    Depends on the bulb manufac.

                    Every K is different where you get the bulbs from. I sell them 12k and there not that bluye, 15+ K is very blue. 8k almost white with a hint of blue and so on.
