one of my hids just went out and i cant decide on the color for replacement. 5k or 6k? what you guys think? any pics would help to

 

same thing pretty much..

 

That's it......guys

 

Yes 5 or 6 k, go ahead then and try 12k
my fogs are 3k they look yellow 5 or 6 is almost like stock

 

Whatever you decide on choosing, just know that the aftermarket HIDs aren't as bright usually as the stock ones, GL

 

I have 6k and I think they are just right. They dont have too much blue and it lights up the road at night which is obviously the most important thing.

 

Use the 6k bulb.

The 5k is more white compared tk the 6k which has a tint of blue. IMO the 6k looks better and still close the the same light output of the 5k.

 

After trying others, 4.5k/5k are my favorites. Then again, I'm old and don't like attention from 5.0

Not like the blue/purple bulbs will help you "see" any better than 4.5k

 

8k looks nice if you are into that.

5k-6k is pretty much stock.

 

i like 8-10k

 

I would get Phillips 4300k. They're the brightest

 

i have ddm 10k 35w. awesome. but anywhere from 5-10 would be good.

 

thanks guys...i already have 3k fogs which are pretty bright, im gonna go with 5k or 6k anything higher is just a bit ricey for my taste. probly going with 6k since i have the 3ks for my fogs already and light output will not be an issue thanks again

 

Wow, a LOT of erroneous information in here. 4300K is stock. A bit above that heads into the blue then purple hues. Below 4500 gets into the yellows. 4500-5500k is white, daylight color. Even 5000k has a bit of blue in it. And 4300 has a bit of yellow in it. Anything outside of the 4000-5500 range is actually losing brightness.

The blue/purple colors you see out of an HID light are not the color temperature. Stock bulbs are usually 4300k in most cars. It's the edge of the projector lens that separates colors in the light like a prism. This is what gives you the purple and blue hues.

I bought 6000k bulbs when I put HID lights in my truck. I really can't wait to swap them out for something in a more "white" color. I can't believe the morons that ride around with PURPLE headlights.

 

ITS OVER 9000!
