can i change the bulbs in my hid's i got super blue and im starting to get pulled over for them , i want to have them either white or a not so bright blue? help please

 

get 5000K HIDs, its a pure white, and has great distance, more than blue would have.

 

but the question is can i just change the bulbs i really dont feel like gettin a new hid kit

 

yeah...the bulbs determine color. u can get bulbs from mobilehid

 

yes the ballast is the same for all the bulbs......

 

go with 6K, a slight hint of blue, but mostly a brilliant white...

 

6K - 8K are my favorite!

 

5000K
6000K - 12000K is a waste of money since you won't see sh*t on the road

 

thanks everyone im goin with the 6000k

 

i see fine with my 6000k HIDs. i dunno what you're talking about. as you go high you loose lumens but at even 8000k you'll still be fine

 

and you live on a city that's pretty well illuminated?
thought so
I wanna see that illuminate the road during bad weather condition

 

not be able to see anything with 6K?.... i see dark roads wet or dry just fine with mine...

 

^^ yah same here dude. no idea what the striker guy is talking about....

 

proof?
because I got proof i can see FAR better with 4,300k than 6,000K, not glare and especially No Hotspots that a kit will give you.

 

wow, no kidding, you can see farther with a 4300 than a 6000... it was already mentioned that you use lumens as the color temp increases... i think you lose about 300-400 lumes going from 4300 to 6000... but they are still a hell of a lot brighter than halogens, so you can still see just fine... 6k's are still rated at about 2800 lumens, the best halogens might get close to 1000... it wasn't an issue that you can see farther with 4300 than with 6k, you said you can see anything with 6k... the 6k's are a nice blend of function and looks... they work great and they give a nice look to your car... if all you car about is function then yes, 4300 is more practical, but if you want looks and function, the 6k's are great, and you can see just fine with them...

 

actually, philips ultinions which are rated at 5,250K have 2600 lumens.
GE 10,000K has 1800 lumens
The thing about EVERY hid kit seller website is that their chart is off BY ALOT. They give you average lumen ratings without any actual proof.
6,000k is rated at 2200 +/- 200 lumens (OEM GE, Philips and Osram setups that are now discontinured: 85122CM for philips, the others I don't remember the name)
6,000K from a kit vary from manufacturers which will have the same or LESS lumens.
Philips 85122+ rated at 4,200K has 3,400 lumens
Philips 85122 rated at 4,100K has 3,200 lumens
Osram 66040 rated at 4,250K has 3,200 lumens
Again, all those bulbs are tested with projective setups.
You take a rebased D2S 6,000K setup with 2.200 lumens into a housing that will not throw light out on the road EFFICIENTLY, you not only lose output but the lumens given to certain bulbs will be WASTED.

 

ah, your one of those people who believe you must have projectors for HID's to work properly... there are several OEM HID's that do not use projectors... anyways, this is a waste of my time, the statement that with 6k's you can't see anything is ridiculous... there never was anyone who said 6k's are brighter than 4300's... It all boils down to personal preference... My 6K kit in my OE headlights works beautifully and is a massive improvement over halogens... anyways...

 

Those are called reflective HID setups or HID reflectors used on the previous generation of the infiniti g35, Acura tl's, Acura RL's, Lexus ES300, Lincolns, Cadillac Escalade, lexus IS300, etc.
Again, your statements are stupid and I'm being generous because you obviously HAVE NO IDEA what you're talking about.
Do you know how light works and the prism effect? Do you know how light is bent or how an HID bulb works? Do you know how the salt excitement to make an arc and project light is done by the bulbs? Do you know D2R bulbs are use for reflective setups and D2S for projective setups or projectors? Do you know D2R's have a shield bilt into the build itself that blocks how light is projected? Do you know why D2R bulbs make less lumens? Do you know what the R stands for? Do you know why Reflective setups do not use rebased D2S bulbs unlike your kit which is a rebased D2S setup?
I guess you don't. However, it is true when you said this was a waste on time when knowledgable people like me try to enlight you and give you facts so you won't make an ___ out of yourself yet you still believe the fact that whateever information wrong you're giving out to people is the correct one thus they must follow it.
Know how things work before opening your mouth.

 

stop arguing. the end.

 

all these 5000K and 6000K doesn't mean anything if you're speaking on the term of aftermarket quality. They don't really have genuine standard. they can advertise them as 5000K, but it can be 6000K or higher.
Stick with 4300K and you'll be OK (with the exception of blinding people).
