i plan on getting HID's from mobile HID

however

i want the BEST light quality with a hint of blue
kind of like waht lexus/bmw/land rover headlights look like.

i have an 09 so its a projector lens.

 

OEM 4300k > ALL!

 

will 4300K give me the little blue that id like?

 

4300k is what you see in BMW/Lexus/Mercedes and all the other high end cars. Im currently running 4300k in my HID retro and love the WHITE color it gives out with a tad shade of blue. you loose output the higher "K" you go.

if i had to choose between the two, id say 5000k?

 

the light will become "distorted" as well the higher u go. or glare.

 

Yea if I had to choose I would say 5000k but I love my 4300k! They give a slight bluish look and have some decent color on the cutoff but mostly they are white. Makes driving at night fun.

 

The colors on the luxury cars are a result of the projector and not really from the k rating.
Most if not all use 4300k.
Halogen equipped cars typically go for the higher k to mimic the blue.

 

i think i know what your looking for so id have to go ahead and say get the 6000k.. i have 8k and my girl has 6.. when i got in her car her headlights look white loll but if u look at it the have a blueish tint

 

6000k FTW!! had 5k before. look pure white. so i switched to 6 to give it that hint of blue. and i have MobileHID too...

 

definatly 6000k in halogen projectors......5000k will be very white in them.

the HID projectors give off that color due to the projectors in those cars adn how it reflects the light........

8000k will be a lot bluer but no visability in them and ticket getter.......


I have 6000k in mine for the last year and they have actually toned down a bit on the brite white and still have some blue....in the rain at night you will not want more than 6000k also as you will not be able to see at all on dark wet roads.

 

Just get 5000k, its pure white with a little hint of blue.

5k>6k for sure

 

i like my 6000k...i had 8000k before though

 

i love my 6000k

 

I have a4300k HID in my 06 stock light. and I like the way it light up the road... I say between the 2, go with 5000k..you will see better at night..

be safe.

After this thread im considering going to 6K....I have 8K but i can bearly see the output....

 

4300K is ideal. 5000K is as high as you would want to go. Anything higher that 6000K, your just buying them for color!!

 

My 8000k Looks hella white on the 08-09 projectors. I would say 6000k since you want a hint of blue.

 

5000k = pure white
6000k = white with hint of blue
8000k = blue with hint of white

 

6000k
