HID kit

Right fellas i put a bid in on ebay for a hid kit but got outbid but to my supprise i got a second chance offer and believe me the price i'm getting this conversion isn't to be missed so my question to you guys is what k rating do you think i sould all get ?

i have seen the 8000k and loved them , its these that made me want the conversion .

so fire away fellas

Got 6000k on mine, they are crystal clear and VERY bright. 8000 must be mentally bright!!

The higher deg kelvin the LESS bright the lights actually are.

3400k is the WHITEST light

6000k is white with a hint of blue

8000k bluer still

12000k almost purple.

Its a general misconception that the higher the kelvin rating, the brighter the light is. It's actually the opposite.

I have 6000k myself.

I stand erected!! Thought mine were nice and sharp. Wouldnt need any sharper for me

4300k gives a very nice, crisp and clear light, 6000k starts to get the blue tinge and, as already posted, as you go up the scale the lumens (light actually emitted) diminishes. Personally I'd never go higher than 6000k (my last two sets were in fact 4300k)

I would not go higher than 6K

take it these kits are all street legal and pass MOT's ok ?

how much would new bulbs be if i got 8000k then wanted say 6000k ?

and its a 9005 fitment i'm ordering isn't it ?

You can usually get the bulbs on their own for around £60

60 quid ...... shit i'm only paying 65 for the hole kit .

so i'm glad i asked this question now so i can get the right bulbs first time .

so there 9005 fitment ?

4300k here

 

so there 9005 fitment ?

Sorry dude, I can't remember:( Are they UK or J-spec lamps? Try a search as it's been brought up loads of times. When I got mine I can't remember what bulbs I got but I do remember trimming them down with a dremmel to get them to fit right

yep done a search and there 9005's

I have 8k on mine and have fitted a 10k to a civic, both looked really nice. Will be going 12k when i have the car resprayed.

Sorry for the crap pic, mobile, rain and poor light dont help.

looks nice mate ... does it give off a blue tint ? is it all blue or just slight blue

I would be very careful with second chance offers,make sure you check the seller out properly,if they want payment through wetern union leave well alone they are usally scams I just about got caught out with a second chance on a pioneer sat nav,hot mail usually lets you know that the e-mail sent is suspicious and did not come from the proper ebay site,hope this helps.

They have a slight blue tint, the 10k kit i fitted was a bit more blue, not as much as i thought but still bluer.

10k? Seriously? You might as well go back to halogens at that stage...
