HID questions?

Projectors.

Hmm… Nvm then. I'm not planning on buying projectors. I'll stay with the glare I guess.

Damn, those look nice but they appear blue. I though 6000K was like a crystal white.

Yes little blue and crystal white at the same time.
Want it all crystal white? go with 5000K.

I have 6,000k H4's in my JDM one piecer's.

Nice. Very nice.
I'm glad I now know that 6000Ks are blueish. I'll be going with 5000Ks then.

The problem with glare is it doenst effect you so much as it effects on coming traffic....have you ever driven towards someone with high beams on?....its comparable to that....not as blinding....but its obvious that somethings not right....you get a cop on a bad day and he can be a dick about it.

I dont understand why people dont do an actual retrofit....There really are no cons to doing it...ohhh no i have correctly aligned and non-blinding headlights...HORRIBLE NEWS...not to mention the increase in actual usable light output it gives you...It costs a bit more but in the end its WELL worth the extra money.

And never go above 6000K for HIDS....After that you only get lights that look brighter but actually provide less usable (key word here) light output.....5000K is the highest you should ever go....not directed at the OP just saying for future searches

Thanks King James.
Yea, 5000K is the way to go.

So now, a new question:
Anyone got pictures with 5000Ks?

[vietkid_2006]

when you look at the 6,000k's head on they look blueish but when you're behind the wheel it's a white with a slight blue tint.

My headlights are aimed all the way to the right and down. so i've never been flashed but once.

Yeah plz post pics!

[Law Grandeur]

loud92...you should blackhouse them. that chrome is too much. the blackhouse look would look so much better with your car too imho

[Adriann yo]

Law Grandeur,

I found your post about the HID kits and I ordered some 9006 5000Ks for $25.
Hopefully they don't take over a week to arrive.

They came out to $30 shipped because I ordered 4 kits so shipping was $20 for all.

[loud92CB7]

Yeah plz post pics!

I'll post the pics here when I get the laptop up and running it would take forever to do it on the iPhone.

If u aim the headlight down u shouldn't have any problems. I had 4300k and aimed them down and nobody ever complained. I even tested it out with a friend of mine, drove toward him and drove in back to make sure. Or another thing u could do is fab up a cutoff shield so the light ain't hella all over the place. As for temp personally I wouldn't go over 6000k, just starts to look retarded.

[loud92CB7]

i noticed these actually have a cutoff ... where is yours?

our cars are getting kinda old and these give new brackets

time for what alot of people are wanting to see the cutt off pics and this is the distance i was from the shed



i likey alot!!! looks clean IMO

what it looks like for the cockpit

that cutoff is nice right outta the box

looking mean
the glare isnt bad either.
