HID's on Evo8 *appearance* ??
Whassup everybody....i've searched to see if this was talked about....and i oculdnt find any results, so I'm going to ask. Ok. As for for the HID's on the Evo8...when i saw them at the LA Auto Show, they appeared to me as if they gave off a stock "yellow" look. Now, i could have sworn that all HID headlights were the ones that were either bright *** phatty white, bluish (like bmw), or purplish. So basically what i'm asking is, is the actual light going to be like bluish? or is it going to be just like a normal yellow look? Cuz that sucks lol. I wnat some phat *** lookin blue/purple lookin HID lights.
P.S. Please dont make me look stupid if i made a fool of my self, I honestly don't have any clue, so plz just reply if u have any knowledge and not if you're gonna be a punk and diss on me, thanks !

was it bright inside? during daytime any light will almost seem yellowish..or not to it's color at night time...but i know with hid's the appearance of the light sometimes looks different at different angles..so that might of been it...or maybe that car just had bulbs in instead of hid's

Well on the thread that was made by RT in Pre-arrival.. He started a thread that said "I sat in one".. Something like that.. Well he posted pictures of it and he states that the lights were so brilliant white that they almost looked blue... So there ya go... Go check out the pics in that forum...

Well, if you want to change the HID bulbs im sure you can change the brand most brands have different looks. If you want the BMW bulbs you can get the Osram Xenarc D2S bulbs. For projector beams setups, it's the projector itself that determines the color output of the bulb. Notice how audi's change color as they drive by and bmw's stay pretty pruple. Audi's and VW use Valeo projectors.....BMW's use the same Xenarc bulbs i believe but they have Hella projectors. If you want to go even bluer, you can switch to 6000K Philips Ultinon bulbs. www.autolamps-online.com is a great HID resource.

well..i keep seeing the audi hid's and they can have that yellow-ish look at certain angles. what i've noticed is that they can look purple, white, blue, and amber(depending on what angle the light is shining towards you), so that may have just been the thing...but i could be wrong

Yes, the color temperature has nothing to do with brightness. Bluer lights can even degrade your ability to see things in bad weather. I've had a Panasonic HID kit (4500K) in my car for 19 months, and it's one of the most valuable mods I've done. Once you drive a car with HIDs, you don't want to go back. If I was buying a kit, I wouldn't go above 6000K.
