6000 kelvins or 7500 kelvins doesn't say anything about brightness. That only tells what color they are...

first of all those pretty light from bimmer and big buck benz are HID not blubs

again those number are color of the light it will give out.

stay away from piaa's headlight bulbs, get some silverstar if you are on budget and cant afford a real hid set up

those "super, hyper white bulbs" are just regular bulb with higher wattage(it might burn your harness over time) with a light coat of transparent paint over it, purple, blue, green,etc just the color of the coat.

actually you gonna loose some light because of the colored coat.

okay just listen to me now..honda is a honda..angel eye belong to bimmer imo.. that's my theory..

if you still want to buy a pair of those..here some warning for you.

1)they leaks over time
2)clear lens turn yellow
3)you will have to slice your wires and mess with h1 bulbs(or h3?)
4)they give out shitty, i mean shitty light pattern=worthless

of course those are just some common problems of aftermarket made in taiwan hl

btw, if you really want projector head light that works well, get a pair of oem honda projector from s2000 and retrofit it to your accord, those in teg should work too..

yeah...i have those on my 95 accord. I don't have them hooked up though cause I don't know where the red and white wires that come from each headlight go to. want to help me out so i can hook them up? i would appreciate it much! thanks!

that's bs. I have the headlights and have had them for a year now. Nothing is wrong with them at all. No discoloration and def. not a shitty light pattern. besides...they are cheap as hell and def. worth the $100 I paid for them. Bitch to install cause the bumper, but hey, what isn't a bitch to install?

for HID's the lowest amount of filtering generally is 4000-4300k, almost pure white light. Any higher = subtracting light to get a given color.

For halogen bulbs, the more CLEAR it is, the more light output it will yield, meaning, clear clear yellow light bulbs (all else the same, wattage, design, etc) will put out the most light. The best compromise would be ones w/ really really light blue tint that yield an almost white light. Piaa bulbs are overpriced, dont bother. You can pickup GE, phillips, or sylvannia bulbs that are lightly tinted blue cheaper than PIAA bulbs.
