Okay, so I installed my 8000k hids today. And One is a cool blue and the other is a mint green.. I read the packaging inside and it say it needs break in time if the colors dont match. How long is this process?

 

i think its a couple hours i would just turn them on and leave them on and hopefully that will allow the gas in there enough time to get hot enough and condition them in

 

Thanks, ill be going out of town next week so it will be a few hour trip so I it will allow the hids to change i hope.

 

yeah i dont think it takes much time but i know when i installed my 6000k kit the colors were very similar off the bat so idk if that green one is gonna come all the way blue

 

the only break in time is when you first turn them on for the first time,about 10 mins,other then that thats all,it should be that color right away,theres no break in period for the color..ive actually went through alot of hids kits before i found the right color i was lookin for, and that was from hidextra....

 

^correct, however. Some bulbs are prepped before hand.

 

the bulbs are from xenon...And it says it takes a few hours on the manual in the box for the colors to change. But Eh, If they dont change Ill get replacements.

 

They should come with the exact same color brand new. I would request for a new set of bulbs.

 

Yeah I went out there for a bit and messed with them. Its how my headlights are tinted. Thank good my new ones are going to be here Wednesday.

 

no such thing,as far as i know,who would sit there driving for a few hours to wait for there hid kit to get to the right color,i know i wouldnt, i want that color i bought as soon as i turn on those lights, i dont mind breaking in the bulbs for 10 mins but for the color to change no....

 

i'm not here to bash on you but.......first of all HIDs take about less than ten mins to warm up........so it seems u got wrong ones......second why would u tint your headlight is beyond my understanding.........and lastly if u want to see the correct color untint get new ones and test it out bang problem solved

 

It seems that they kinda evened out. ill see once I put them in projector 2 morrow.

 

I just switched from 8k to 5k, in the rain and fog I couldn't see **** with them. After I changed mine one was a little different color than the other. I am blaming it on the cheap bulbs though.

On topic....I don't think they really have a break in period. My 8ks were pretty much the same color shortly after I turned them on the first time.
