HID conversion and bulb choice???? i'm lost

[doojo0014]

i have been checking out the HID conversions and i don't know what i need to know. what is the difference in the bulbs their are so many choices. do i need one for high and low or is it possible just to get the lows since i use them ALOT more than the brights. have been checking them out on ebay.

Get 9006 bulbs for lows, 9005 for highs.

as far as the (example the 1000k --threw 10,000k) dosent matter?? as long as they are 9006 bulbs ,

so when i get the conversion it all fitts in gravy like??

Get a plug-n-play HID conversion. Also get a relay harness if they don't come with one. Relay harness will save your harness from a possible meltdown during start-up of the HID's. It's a safety measure , doesn't cost too much.

For the K scale , the higher the number the less light output you will have. To get the best possible output get 4300K to 6000K. 8000K is still considerable *According from my experience* but anything above 8000K is just for show.

i personally like 5k.

www.retro-solutions.com I have purchased from. I love their lifetime warrenty on ballasts and bulbs.

5k is very close to regular halogen color, but with HID brightness and clarity. For normal driving, this is best. I wouldn't go above 6k myself. The blue tint of the higher temps looks cool at first, but the effectiveness of the light output isn't as good, and the color can eventually strain your eyes.

thats true

but 3000k is best for fogs cuz of the yellow color but go for the 6000k for your lows

lol it also depends on the manufacturer.

True.
My 5000K's are a little more blue than I'd like, but a hell of a lot better than my 6000K's that were really closer to 8000K.

i say 5k maybe 6k. anything else makes you a target for pigs...its only 10 dollars per fix-it ticket but they add up haha. 8k+ looks cool but like everyone else says...clarity isnt there

I got some 8000k, they are fine when it comes to brightness. 5000k is like the stock HIDs on BMW's and Cadillac's n' such.

i run 4300k in my projector retro fit. but some days i pop in 5k ones.

but i boosted them to 55 watts and love the output!
