so does anyone have the 3000k(yellow) set? how good can you see at night? are they brighter than factory?

they are "brighter than factory" but the visible light is not that good (around the same as halogens). It only paints the road instead of lighting it. There great for auxiliary lights or fog lights but not as your only source of headlights.

^^ agreed.. and maybe illegal in some states..i know in Cali you cant have over 8k HIDs and they cant be purple or yellow..

darkwater_ghost

thanks I will stick with the 6k. I am courious though, I am getting jdm foglights, how would I get hids for them? is it worth the trouble? I have a ej8

r22thomas

On the jdm fogs hids will look sick. Just make sure the housings are deep enough to fit the hids. Plan first. (where will you mount the ballasts, how will you mount them.)
Ive got 6k with no retrofit and I love them. They light up every little lane bump and the signs look bright and white. After you put them in adjust the angle because they will throw different than halogens and blind other drivers.

HIDs are great if you do a retro fit to your headlights, those guys are morons. They probably got a kit off of ebay and installed them in factory lights... Do a retro fit and install the projector lens and thatll get you a crisp, clear, function HID beam.

But you cant blind other drivers that way!

I tried the 3000k yellows in my New F150 and I hated them! Took them out the next day and went with a pair of 8500k whites

Lol, if I had to pick some, I'd get the 3000K white just so they would actually be functional...some people like really useless blue lights though... But in most states your blue headlights will allow you to see some nice new blue LED bar lights on top of a dodge charger good times!

r22thomas

3000 white???? 5000 is white. 6000 is crystal white. anything over 6k is annoying.

When I ordered my kit they had 3000Ks in white. I ordered them and they showed up marked 3000K and they're white... Just stating the number ordered and received. Don't have them installed ATM due to no retro fit yet.

Blue headlights are dumb.

supra-n-civic

6k is the highest visible light generally i use6 or 8 when i use them in my cars i like 8 but itra kinda a choice youll have to make. look at them on youtube.

supersize

anything over 8 just goes down in visability..

r22thomas

weird the official 3000k is super yellow

i only use 20,000 and higher in my car! jk 6000k for me!

supersize

I got mine off of eBay so who knows what that **** may be. But it is marked 3000K... I'm just really suprised that they actually worked when I tested them lol, Xentec is crap but I purchased them anyways

brutekiller787

i have 6000k in my headlights and 3000k in my foglights. it looks really good and has a nice contrast. the foglights do light up the space between the headlights and the front of the car nicely

mrharmonic

im runing 10000k head lights and 3000k on fogs and i live in cali chp sherrifs all the pd's dont give a **** about lights they have other things to worry about.
