yeah headlights. i have 10k temp in there now and yeah the blueish tint looks good and all when other cars see you but when your driving mountain roads like where i live at night they suck i cant see shit. im looking for simple bulp replacement or something similar not crazy hid angel eyes at the moment just want to get threw winter safe and not have a deer blow threw my car.

 

I agree with you, that while blue headlights are great for show, IMHO the brightest possible "white" light will help you see farther. If you're interested in a reasonable and easy solution try these: http://www.sylvania....ilverStarUltra/

Your car probably uses H-7s for both high and low beams [ check before you buy]. And, if I'm not mistaken, some of the auto retailers are offering a $10 rebate. You can always shop thru the link in my signature for additional rebates at AutoZone and Advance Auto. (Tip = Shop on-line / pick up at store.)

 

6000K is the brightest. then 4300K and 8000K. Then 10000K and 3000K, then12000K, then 20000K

 

so..jhon .how far r u from grand opening ?

 

BOOYA!



I win.

 

According to philips and osram, 4300k is the brightest. 4300k provides the greatest lumen output in hid bulbs.

 

See the philips datasheets for 4300k and 6000k bulbs, there is a significant drop in lumen output between a 4300k and 6000k bulb.

4300k

6000k
