Nice, got any pics of them of how they look on the road or pavement?

5k - 55watt setups are the brightest when measured in lumen output... Followed by 4300k. :beer:

wrong.

4300K is pure white, with the most output. from there it tapers off in both directions.

HEy i guess i some how forgot about this thread and read through it and hey i never thanks you on these pics, it looks very cool and white indeed.

I dont have my GP no more just my SUV but im wanting to get a 4500k hid bulbs from DDM soon. I got 6k right now for my SUVs hi/low and fog. The only problem i have is that the fogs and headlights look so differ in color. Why is that? I looked at it they both are 6k and have that white strip on the HID bulbs. BTW they are O-Nex brand. Im really wanting to get the ones from DDM since they are so affordable and thinking about getting 4500k for the fogs first then when i get more Money get the low/HI since mine has both hi and low in one and it cost more for both.

What you guys think on DDMs 4500k HID, are they just as bright and white as the 4300k? Also why they have 4500k and not 4300k?

Oh sorry I dont have over 10 years experience Installing them at my shop daily carrying several different brands... Look at facts. 4300 is as close to stock COLOR and is NOT brighter then 5k. Your opinion means nothing.

Ive seen proven factual data from several different companies. 5k has a higher lumen output then 4300. Not by much still theres a difference.

Oh and fyi. 4300 is not pure white it has a yellowish tint to it. Smh

so you're saying the HID's you're installing aren't 100% correct then, since 4300K is the brightest light and closely mimics the light output of the sun.

:sly:

Hey i got 4500k HIDs from DDM Tuning just for my fogs, and i wanted to know the strip on the 4500k is white just like the one on my 6000k o nex bulb. Is the strip supposed to be white or is it to be black. how is the two bulbs different when they look the same?

I have heard from many people that 4300k is pure white and the brightest. BTW what color is the strip on the 4300k bulb suppose to be?

Also stealthee has mentioned, before on this thread a page or two back, that 4300k is purest white and birghtest and gives the most usable lumens in the output. Also i do agree when i looked at my fogs lamps they seem to have some yellowish oem style color on it but it was a brighter color than my 6000k headlamps.

Color Confusion 4300k or 5000k

I see your argument and some evidence, i have been thinking about getting 5000k. Ill see what i get with the Headlights, You think 4500k fogs and 5000k headlights might look weird or no? As far as the color and brightness i want the brightest then i look for whitest. Either way im thinking 4300k/4500k DDM or 5000k and no higher. If i get a car im already think 3000k fogs and 5000k lows.

As for the projectors, on a car yes i would highly want to do retrofit but on this SUV i see that it has no glare in the head lights unless you look right into being on the same eye level or lower. These already have a cut off on it which is good so that i dont blind other people on the road.

Don't look directly at it.

Hey i put a 9006 ballast on my SUVs fogs that take h10. The ballast fit perfectly and works better than the other crappy one i had. Now im think about putting in the 9005 5000k bulb in it but i want to know do you guys think it will fit if i put it on?

I like you.

9005 bulb wont fit without modification. The "fins" are different that lock it in place and the plug in on the bulb is slightly different too.
