so i just read every topic on HID but i still need advice.

i live in Jersey, and want the bluest HID's with out running in to a serious problem with the police... i was thinking 8000k. there not going to be in projectors... anyone have a pic of what that would look like?

if you want blue as possible get 10k... i have had both 8k and 10k... the 10k almost give off a turquoise color but its significantly bluer than the 8k... the 8k is a bright ___ white with a shade of ice blue... i have a nbm tc and went with the 8k bc i didnt like the turqouise color...

 

 

if you dont want problems with the police dont go any higher then 6000k.

 

X2 (thats what i did)

 

yea 6k is safest with the police, but i have never had a problem with 8k... judgement call really

 

Why even spend the money on them if they aren't even going to be useful? Might as well save the money for something worthwhile.

 

the more blue it is the less useful it gets...

i'm happy with my 6000K

 

I have my 5000k, and they are perfect to me, a hint of blue, but mostly white. They also have better distance the OEM, 6k and above will get LESS light than OEM.

 

here are xBatmanx's 5k. i cant decide between 5 and 6.

there like this right equinox? i just wanna be sure to have some blue.

 

does 6000k have blue, cuz it just looks white to me

 

no 6k is mostly just white...
ive had 10k for a couple years now and have never had problems with the cops (but im up here in michigan)
id recommend 8 or 10k
10 if u want blue

 

ok.... what if i buy those cheap projectors off ebay and but some HIDs in them... yay or nay.

 

Those look a hint bluer than mine, but mine are the MobileHID ones (it could just be the pictures too.)

 

Projectors will create color themselves, they don't need high kelvin bulbs to make color. That's why ALL OEM bulbs are 4300K and some manufacturers give off blue/purple color. Anything over 5000k in projectors is a complete waste (I have 5000k and I wish I got 4300K).

For stock reflector headlights, 8000K will give you roughly the same light output as standard halogen bulbs, 10000k+ will give less light.

 

must be the picture then, cause he has MobileHID as well..

 

the reflection on the asphalt looks about right though. It could also be the projectors that make it seem a bit more blue than mine.

 

Pictures will really mess with the color of the lights.

 

6000K in Reflectors


5000K in Projectors


5000K Projectors output


I have a the exact same shot as the last one of an Evo with OEM 4300k, and the output of aftermarket 5000K is just pathetic in comparison.
