HIDs question

[JdmCB721]

Anyone have any pics of their hid setups? Where did you get your hids from? how much roughly? Im looking to buy some and was thinking of a purplish color.. i think that's 12000k, but i cannot decide. Your input helps

12k is purple a friend of mine use to have them in his civic, but he got rid of them after driving home in the fog one night and he couldn't see shit. He had to turn off his headlights and drive home.

yea i heard the light output is very shity at that number

i believe 4300k is optimal. the higher you go, the more the light will scatter. itll look pretty but defeat the purpose of having lights. i wouldnt go any higher than 6000k.

from what ive read, the reason certain cars look blue is cause of the lens, not the bulb.

HID v

In projector housing
6000k
um the kit was like $170 i think with a great warrenty, 2day shipping from Hongkong. The picture doesnt do them justice. Great upgrade. VVVVVV

Definately true, the colours we see in the factory HID's out there are not due to the bulb color, as most are 4300K, it is due to the edge off the cutoff shield within the projector. Definately 12000K will give bad light output, it may look cool though head on. I've got 8000K in the factory headlights. Way better than before, but I think I wanna still change to something lower like 4300-6000K.
