the xenon are HID right? i have just tryed the bulbs
03-31-2009
no. HID need ballasts to ignite them.
03-31-2009
HID's i have 8000k theyre blue
03-31-2009
I have 8000k, and have a bluish tint, if you want blue get 10000k or 12000k hids.
03-31-2009
4300K is white. 6000K is blue. 8000K is purple. etc.
it depends where you buy the bulbs and if you get cheap ones and what not, but what i listed above is the true color scheme in Kelvins.

i have also tryed this- eBay Motors: BLUE XENON 894 FOG LIGHTS 04-06 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX (item 260385448033 end time Apr-01-09 13:54:31 PDT)
I have had bad luck with those.
they say they are a replacement stock bulb but do they need a ballast to work?
anybody have a certain brand they like or have pictures,thanks dustin

go with 10k
04-01-2009
i think i'm gonna go with 6k HID's when i get mine...
04-01-2009
the higher you go with the Kelvin rating the less usable light there is and more color there is. i wouldnt go any higher than 8000K if you like to see at night.

Gafford44 is that what you have in your profile picture?
04-01-2009
most of you would recomend the wiring harness modification also?
04-01-2009
go to Systems Integration Plus, Inc. - Main Page and order them, theyre like 62.00 to yer door.. You either need 9007 size bulb if you have a 97-03 or a 9006 size bulb if you have 04+. Get the 8000k bulbs. they ship fast and they have had nothing but positive remarks about them. you dont need the wiring harness, just make sure you have a really good ground and you wont get any flicker.

^ all i see on there is pc stuff. how about a direct link?
04-01-2009
how often do you guys get flashed with your HID's?
04-01-2009
i decided i dont want to change my harness, im going to go with a bright white, what do some of you like? something really bright, (to the point people flash me on low beam)
i hope i can find something bright that isnt a Hid bulb

never, they should be aimed correctly just like regular headlights.Originally Posted by tod1d
a lot of those 'xenon' halogen bulbs are actually worse than stock because they try to change the color so much that the light output is lowered.

First off Some miss information in this thread:
1. 43/4500k is Pure white
- 6000k is ice white. Think of white LED in most cases.
- anything after 4500k you are decreasing the light output.
- Think if the K as a color spectrum ROY G BIV. The higher the k the more violet the light gets.
2. 99.9% of aftermarket bulbs for stock replacement have less light output then the stock bulb had. This is because the bulb is tinted. Even the beloved sliver star has slightly less light out put because the bulb is tinted. The real silver star made by osram in Germany are the real deal as long with GE night hawks, Philips 50+. These will provide the most light output over all.
3. The saying they should be aimed like regular headlamps is not 100% correct. This is because we do not have the lens for HIDS thus the beam pattern is not the same and hids systems are meant to be used with a system with a sharp cut off of light to prevent glare. So if anything you need to aim them down a bit.
Yes HIDS will out preform halogen lamp system any day of the week as long as the reset of the system is designed for it. If it wasn't it is a gable

well yeah, that is part of aiming them correctly.
