HID Kits

[1badgmc]

MY TURN! so im kinda night blind, its hereditary to say the least. i just put new bulbs in my truck last night, the sylvania ultra or whatever. tthe brightest bulb you can buy in a store and i cant even see still. so i wanna do hids. ive asked it before but it really wasnt explained good. whats the deal with the colors and number, basically can you break it down for me?

From my HID stickie thread linked in my sig...

What are color temperatures?
HIDs can be had in a variety of different colors. The color is measured in degrees Kelvin (K). Most HID sellers offer color temperatures ranging from 3000K to 12000K. There are higher Kelvin temperatures out there, but this is the most common range. 3000K HIDs are going to be very yellow/amber in color and are best left for auxiliary/fog lighting. Stock halogen bulbs are around 3200K. Cars that came factory equipped with HIDs, no matter what the make or model, are all in the 4100 – 4300K range. The low 4000K range will give you the whitest possible light with the most useable lumens and most visibility. Higher temperatures will produce a bluer color with less visible light. An 8000K HID bulb will produce about 20% less visible light than a 4300K HID bulb. There is a reason that the OEM HIDs are in the low-4000K range.

just got my two boxes of hids in from ddmtuning.com Shipping was somewhat slow but Its December so i expected that. I order 6 sets. Mainly 9005 9006 for my chevys and H13 for my superduty. I got 6000k 55W on all of them except the H13 where i got the 4300k or whatever it is. I will post some before and after pictures soon as i get time.

On the 90 silverado i did the hi4 mod as you may have seen in my other post where i built my own relay box. So 55 watt high and low beams on together should really be something else when im out in fields.

I have 4500K 35W lows and 5000K 55W highs. I wish I would have gotten 4500K 55W for the highs. They are too blue for me. Buuuut, that is in the daytime. Let me run them at night and see how they look first. Plus I just finished installing them.
