Thoughts on lights

well i hear u can buy tint paper to go in the lights to darken/brighten color lights. so say u got the lighter power u could hype it up a bit with the paper,

 

Well i did a ton of research before i bought mine. Looked at every pic i could see and i decided that 8000 were the best. mostly white with a little bit of blue. So i bought em. Put em in last night.
Real clean lookin but still sick as hell.

i found the 10000 were tacky lookin and too much blue. I know one of the members has 10000's and has a bunch of pics. search Ektor

Only my opinion tho. make your own choice

I'll post some pics right away to help you out

 

yeah i just ordered the 8000k also installing them should be fun lol

 

i had 6000k before,but weren bright enough so i got 8k and they look decent,i could see whats in front of me,

 

^ uh, temperature has no effect on the 'brightness'. So when you say 8k is brighter and can see better than 6k, thats all in your head.

Ya i had one hell of a time installing them, the instructions were absolutely brutally translated from chinese. The instructions didn't do anything to say the least.

alot of trial and error. So far so good

 

6k is pretty much white 8k is bluish white and 10k is a more bold blue
i'm personally going with the 8k once i get the money and everything else outta the way

I don't think the blue tint will show when you turn your stock lights on, its just a cover thats really only visible in the sunlight or under a light. i might be wrong who knows.

 

how is it all in my head man,no offense dude but them bulbs i had i could only see about 10 feet i front of me,when i put the 8k in i could and can see twice as far,i know from the experience.sure they burn a white color and so do these i have,and they burn brighter.go google some more :roll:

 

/\ oh to add on to your copy and paste work,my factory headlamp bulbs burned brighter than the 6k bulbs i did have.

 

There was prolly something bad with that 6000K kist... the higher the kelvin te less lumens = less visibility... now remember, most of us have been used to the stock lights in cars, and have been driving for YEARS with this lights, and thn go to HIDs and go WOW... the 6000K may appear to be dimmer cause they are closer to stock color temperature... then when you got to 8000k or 10,000k, the blue tint on the lights makes the things look different and pop out more, thats why you think its brighter, but its not...

i have 10,000k in my lancer, i have 8000K in my 2002 explorer 4 years ago and had 14,000k in my eclipse 1 year ago... of all i can say that the best visibility was with the explorere (maybe cause it was an SUV and sat higher?) or just the temperature.... i can see fine either way... now i cant stand to have a car without HIDs... i always recommend peple 8000k or 10,000k... i think 10 is not TOOOO blue...

day shot...



night shot in my sig

 

Sorry Ektor, i wasn't saying anything was wrong with them, They still look hot :thumbright:

 

its coo

heres another day shot

 

Yep I was right... Hot

 

damn i wish i could roll with 10k

6k is all thats legal in cali but i'm rolling with 8k soon, should be dope

 

lovin my 8k, tonight was the first time i drove with them at night. wow

 

just remember by going down the temps in kelvin will resolve in HID's being brighter

for example: 6k is brighter then 8k

the choice is yours

 

Very true. The lower the kelvin rate the brighter the out put.. I got 6000k maggggnificent lol.

 

well like i said i just ordered mine any tips on the install from anyone ?:lol:
because im pretty sure the instructions are gonna suck ass

 

trial and error. try it all til it works
