HID Lights

[ExplodingCake]

The higher the K rating , the lower the output.
I'd go 6K tops.

Ive got 6000k and I like the blueish hue to the lights. the higher you get the lower the output which means the lower the visibility. so if you want a really blue light the 8000k would be fine but the higher you go its basically just all colored lights. 4300k is like OEM on mercedes and lexus and is really bright light. same with 5000k. those are the brightest two. 3000k is great for foglights. so imo get 4300k, 5000k, or 6000k. hopefully you have projectors they will make the output better than standard reflectors and wont blind people.

[blueplanet]

basically lower output means less light given off. I think 6000k looks the best because it looks blue without losing all the brightness of 5000k. and if you want to blind people then go ahead and do so but your gonna get high beamed like crazy and might get pulled over by police.

I have the 6k in the ebay projectors and despite all those that hate them I like them and it would give you more directed light on the road. so maybe go with a retrofit or get the ebay one piece or the two piece with the projector style low beam

[blueplanet]

that kit is fine. the majority of the people on here will want you to retrofit your stocks with some projectors that use d2s bulbs. like some tsx or s2k projectors. then get an hid setup for that. but if you're on a budget then getting some hids and sticking them in your stocks will be fine. just a fair warning u might get pulled over for all that glare.

[blueplanet]

personally yes. depends on how bright you want the lights to be to. i like my 6k a lot because of the blue hue that comes out of them. anything more than that is just a waste imo. so check out 4300k 5k and 6k look at them for different applications and see which one suits your needs.

[blueplanet]

then id say 6k and toss them in some projectors. either a retrofit or on a budget ebay projectors

Well, if you insist on getting HID, you don't have to pay 70 dollars at least.

29.95 plus shipping. It is so stupid how cheap HID's are now. Entire retrofits cost less now than just HID kits did a couple years ago.

dont get anything above 6k....

[av6g6]

Why man ?

Because anything above 6k and you can't see anything at night. Trust me, I have ridden in cars with 8k and even at 8k, you are straining to see anything.

[92turboaccord]

i have 55w 5k and 35w 6k and i wouldent go above 6k i think its perfect......
if its for show do whatever but the output sucks the higher you go

[92turboaccord]

I would suggest you not use HID in your high beam bulbs, 9005. Due to the simple fact that hotstriking ( turning bulbs on after they have been on without proper time to cool off) will severely damage the bulbs. HID bulbs use and arc to emit light and the electrodes wear down prematurely when you turn them on and off repeatedly. Since high beams are turned on and off quite frequently, they probably won't last long.
