i'm about to order an hid kit and i don't plan on doing a retrofit any time soon. so which of the two am i less likely to blind people/get pulled over for? and which last longer? i prefer the 8000k because it's more blue. thanks.

 

6000 has more light output

 

i think its ridiculous how many threads are made on this topic

 

thanks bronzblaza117. skip over the hid threads if they upset you.

 

well if you plan on doing a retro any time now, i would say neither and go OEM with Philips D2S bulbs at 4300k.

 

Everyone needs somebody else's opinion that's why this kind of thread appears. It's all about helping the OP decide.

I would go for 6000K just because it gives more light output compared to 8000K.

 

id say go with the 6000k, simply because of the more light output.

 

X2!

 

I just went with 8000k lights and they are amazing, totally different than most HID's but not flashy. Also night and day compaired to my silverstars. Love the color!

 

there is a ton of topic on this....

anyways - i got 8000k and i love them - blue but still bright as a **** - 6000k has a bit more output, but any HID is going to blow the halogens out of the water! i had to drive my moms van the other day that has halogens in it and it was like blind on the road! might as well been drivin with no lights - i am so used to drivin my tc...it was nuts!

350 miles cross state each way in the dark - in a van - by myself...it was torture!

with no hids!

 

your in virginia right? from what i've been reading, your just giving the cops another reason to pull you over and hassle you, just my opinion, don't really know a thing about hid lights.

 

Yup. The lower temp the brighter it is, which causes more glare. The higher temp, the dimmer and bluer it gets, which flags for cops' attention. These are your choices bud, LOL

 

8000K and no cop problems. Now if you had 12000k's, you might have cop trouble.

 

I'd go for the 8000k, thats what i'm getting.

 

Don't be a follower. Get 3000K and be different.

 

 

haha.............. thanks for the input everyone. i'm still not sure D:

i'm leaning towards 8000k i think

 

dude, im having the same problem deciding...6 or 8K???? i love the 6, but the 8looks sweet too, ijust don't want too much blue... even though it looks sweet, my parents want me to be safe (not that its not safe) but they want it to look good. or someting.... u know how parents are... what to do, what to do lol
thanks

 

6000k, blue-ish, more light output than 8k, can pass for stock

 

Why not get 7000k ??? i;m using a set of 7000k and they have a nice brightness to blueness ratio
