Thread: HIDS

hey guys i know that someone have might of ask this question already but i cant find it... for HIDS can you keep the same ballast and change the bulb? or do you need to buy a whole new kit..thank u guys and sorry again if this was asked

Same company, just buy new bulbs, no need for the whole kit.

And May I say...Dont go over 6000k....5000k or 4300k is where it's at.

alright thanks man apprectiate it and i have 8000k right now but i might get new headlights with different bulb thats why i was asking

gotcha. Yeah the ballasts will still work, along with the signal wires. Just get the different bulb, that's meant for the ballast you have (IE dont mix a Digital ballast bulb with a Standard ballast bulb)

But seriously, I had 8000k..liked em...nice and blue...
Dropped to 6000k...much more visibility, and still a nice blue hint...

Fogs are 5000k, and they are ****in awesome bright

not bad i was thinking as white as i can go for my fogs

Yeah, they really really do make a difference.
Not sure if you can find 3000k around, but I do know 4300k is very easy to get.

is that the whitest out there?

sorry for cuting in but i have a set of 6k Bi-Xenon HIDs is it possible to follow the same concept by going with bulbs lower than 6k

no worries, ask away lol..and no idea thats wat im trying figure out

Get the same bulb, different temperature Soviet, that simple.

Lou, 4300k is about pure white..

3000k is more yellow, but puts out more usable light

i thnk im going to go for the yelloow, i have yellow now but not hids i just have a hid fake bulb hahaha

Ok thanks, now i just got to find what brand mine are

i got mine like in brentwood on long island lol i forgot how to get there haha

Haha, yeah, I do like how mine look. 6k lows, and 5k fogs atm, very nice light output. The fogs really help out with the projector cutoff too.

Try to stick to the same brand, so everything is the same gauge, and length wire, and connectors.
No sense in mix-matching, and ending up with no lights at 4am in the middle of nowhere, in a snowstorm, with no cellphone, and die.

Lol.

good idea and lmao how did u come up with that situation ha

That's a pretty alright chart.

Yeah, that chart is close. 6000k 35w are a little bluer that that....not much though..

But still a decent chart. Thanks ZR1

thanks for the chart that helps alot, and i think the 10000k r lil bluer

my thoughts exactly, they start getting bluer at 6000K, maybe a littler more yellow at 4300K.

Those might be 55w HIDS, they tend to cancel out color more than 35w...

so 8k 55w are very close in color/blueness to a 6k 35w HID
