cant dicide between 6000K 8000k or 12000k...any suggestions for a PW xb?


what do you think would look best??

 

8000k

 

I have the 6000k, they are white with a tinge of blue. I went with these because they are a little brighter than 8k and 12k. I think these flow with the white motif best.

 

6000K is a great all around color.
8000K can get washed out in bad weather. It's got a great color to it though.

 

I say 5000k or 6000k

^^

 

4300k is oem hid and the whitest of the group
6000k is eh with a little blue hue to it

Anything over 6k is ghetto. and should only be on 93 corrollas or 99 maximas.

 

first of all it would be 6000k since k stands for kelvin not thousand, and i my 8000k

 

yeah i think im going to go 6000K. ill post up a pic when i get them


thanks guys

 

i think 6k is best.

 

I hated my 6k so i went with 5 and they work great!
I have 5k in my bb and Ichikoh head lights.

 

i've had 8000K and now i have 6000K and i'm liking the 6000K more.

 

Nothing higher than 6kK.

As stated, 4.3kK is going to provide the best visibility of the group. 6kK is a good balance between visibility and looks.

anyone running HIDS in the stock housing? if so, how's it going? Would you recommend that or projectors? I've read projectors are best, but am worried of them fogging.

 

The cutoff on the projectors is phenomenal.
I ran HID in the stock housings for 2 years. The glare was horrendous. If you're gonna do HID, might as well do it right.

(oh, and mine fog occasionally, but if you leave the rubber boot for the high beam off a touch, it'll clear up right away)

 

Mine are in stock housing, they seem to be fine.

 

I have Rikensport 8000k in low beam and 3000k in high beam in the stock housing. The low beam is the brightest light i have ever had, now the 3000k high beam sucks cause the high beam in the stock housing has no reflector! so when i turn on the high beams, its the blue mixed with the yellow, its a mess visually! But it looks great

 

See, high beam HIDs never made much sense to me. You don't generally have them on all the time and the on-and-off operation of high beams will kill a bulb fast (they don't have time to warm up properly and that'll shorten their lives rapidly.

 

i got 8k HiD's in my stock housing in my onix blue... and let me tell u i love the way it looks... personally the 6k looks like high beams to me and thats why i liked the 8k slightly blue and it even goes with my car a bit being light blue

 

5000K is the best for light output. 4300K is the best overall the tC with High beams for HID's is a waste of money and ballast life. your not going to win any shows with that set up

 

Retrofit

Or get some projectors and buy rebased Phillips D2S to 9006, find a set of oem ballast. wire them up yourself.
