Thread: getting HID's. What colors should i get?

Headlights: nothing above 6000K really
Fogs:3000K-4000K

I like to match. I say nothing over 6000k, I run 6000k in both.

what color car do you have?

5k is white
6k is a blue-ish tint.

because youre buying HIDs that arent true HID, the color you get is going to be relative regardless of what you buy. otherwise colors are like this:

4300K = pure white (color of the sun (all colors))
6000K = ice blue
8000K = blue
10000K = purple ish
etc etc.

either way, dont go over 6000K unless you want to look crazy rice and not see anything.

I have 10,000k and there ice color

because they are spec'd wrong from who sold them. none of the HIDs unless they are the correct D2S bulb setup with a projector are never going to live up to what they are supposed to be.

my 8k arnt blue, blue tint yes but more white then blue, and my 10k are more whiter then blue and brighter then my 8ks

do i really need to repeat myself?

the manufacturing process and quality control of those fake HIDs are horrible.

i wasnt asking you too
i was just sayin

something completely different. all this plug and play hid kits arent anywhere near what a true hid setup would function like.

6 and 3 till i get a retro going

4300k the blue lights are ghey!
