H.I.Ds

what most people wont mention is that the higher K (kelvin (color temperature)) rating, the LESS BRIGHT the light is, ill say it again, higher K does NOT mean brighter, it means more color. the best ones as far as light output and visibility are gonna be 4-5000k or 6000k tops. a 12 is gonna be colorful, but maybe not as effective as you would like at night. ultimately, if you want hids for the output, not the look, get a nice retrofit and use hid projectors in your oem housings, and you can have a REAL hid setup that will look as good as a tsx or s2k. and you wont get highbeams flashed at you all the time from people thinking you have your hibeams on because the light is scattered in their eyes, as opposed to a projector setup, where the light stays at a much lower point

I wish I had the skill to retro fit my head lights. Fawk it, blinding other drivers it is!

try these guys they manufacture there HID bulbs the same size as the stock one for less light scatter. www.mobilehid.com and i would get 6k everyone has blue and you won't stand out for the cops.

my girls TC got 30K Pink HIDs and honestly Ive driven the car and have no problem what so ever with visibility or any complaints about the brightness, got the occasional flash of highbeams from oncoming tho lol

[91EscortGT]

definately better than stock on the TC, but not over the top either, its perfect to me other than the color

holy old thread batman

i bought 10k couple weeks ago, they are not a blue as my last pair but they bright up wayyyy far more...
its funny, i read that the less blue, the brighter they are. for instance:

if you buy 6k, they are less blue but they light up farther

if you buy 35k, they are bluer but they light up very little.
its a fact im not just saying it

the lower the k the more visible.
