: Which brightness should I get? csx5197 03-05-2008, 03:57 PM I'm looking to get some HID's soon and am wondering what the best color or intensity I should get is. I'm leaning towards the 4300K because they look be the brightest. I also like white hue they give off. Just looking for some people's opinions. Thanks sintax 03-05-2008, 04:52 PM 4300 is nice, I had 5600 in my GTO and really liked them as well. I'd try to get as close to 4300 as its "natural light" csx5197 03-05-2008, 08:45 PM yeah thats what I had read in other threads. I didn't realize the higher the K's the lower the the brightness, kinda reversed. 06Dmaxpwr 03-06-2008, 04:38 PM K is a temp measurement, Kelvins. Basically the first thing you wanna decide is the color, if you want a blue tint, might want to go 6000K and up but if you really want white go 4300/5000k you wont regret it. Also you are correct as loosing brightness as you increase on the K scale, becasue of the colors produced. csx5197 03-06-2008, 06:54 PM Yeah I'm not sure, I used to want a nice blue, not super blue, but like a 6000 or so, but I'm starting to lean towards the 4300 because the white just shoots right out there. And I do a lot of back road driving where it would be beneficial 06Dmaxpwr 03-06-2008, 06:56 PM True, or just do your fogs, highs, lows so you cant miss a thing...:D Honestly though, your only gonna notice a slight difference between those besides the actual color..... JC PAINT WORKZ 03-06-2008, 06:59 PM i have 8k low and 10k high on my hayabusa and love it... i would prolly go with the same set up in my truck but 8k on both.. the 10k sort of changes colors too much sintax 03-06-2008, 08:59 PM I found i never really used my hi-beams after I installed HIDs in my lows. The GTO had a projector setup so they focused really nicely anyway. I figure i'd just do the lows in my truck for fun since I have the ballasts i just need the bulbs. factorymx 03-06-2008, 09:34 PM you found a kit that has both hi and low beams? i think you will be more then happy with 5k thats what i always run copter 03-06-2008, 09:47 PM 4300k. Don't make the mistake... The 4300 gives off enough blue but on the white side. I just replaced my fogs with 3000k which are yellow. The 4300k's with the 3k's are like daytime. Hit up Nor-Cal Nick (vendor here) and he'll get you set up with HID's. Unit453 03-06-2008, 09:49 PM I would really recommend not putting HID's in your Explorer. You're gonna get flashed all the time. csx5197 03-06-2008, 10:55 PM Oh well, I like brighter headlights BHoward6.6 03-06-2008, 11:10 PM read this, http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=165715 csx5197 03-07-2008, 02:08 PM Yeah I've read through there a bunch of times. The 4300K seem like a good option factorymx 03-07-2008, 02:49 PM are you gona loose your high beams still? | ||
