what's wrong with the purplish look? it looks kind of aggressive. i disagree with H.I.D. as rice.

ok ill let my girlfriend type here for me: i bought al those silverstars as a gift in the past, they dont even anywhere compare to HID's. he has the REAL hella hid kits from germany. (ballasts) and all. those silverstars, luckily auto zone took them back, believe me, his lights are better and brighter still then even new TL, CL, BMW, AUDI, and PORsche! they are not rice, and are not BLUE. our prelude + tegra look "luxury" not rice. whats your email, we will send pix! damn... no bulb compares to 25,000 volt @ 35 watt draw!

Sigh, MTK Commander, the newbies are killing you.

If you look at cars with OE HID lights from far away they do appear to have a little purplish tint but the output on the ground is pure white. The 4300K kits will do this for you. Give you the MOST amount of Usuable White Light.

The 6000k+ kits appear purple from far away, and they output more purple than white on the ground also. If you want to attract cops, ricers, and what not then go with the purple systems, just remember you're not getting your money's worth if you get those, unless blinging is what you like.

There are many companies and private merchants out there that will advertise 7000K, 8000K, and even 12000K HID kits. Most of these vendors lurk around on e-bay, online car forums, websites, and ricer accessory shops. 100% of the people that buy these kits do so because they are uninformed, uneducated, or misguided in the field of lighting, and will buy these junk kits thinking two things: that these bulbs are brighter and/or that they will perform better. These are both untrue. Perhaps this misconception and frenzy for purple lights originates from BMW and Audi's infamous projector HIDs.

So here's the *real* low down... Philips is the number one manufacturer of HID bulbs. The Philips OEM D2S bulb is rated at 4100K at 12.8 volts and produces 3200 lumens of light. The Philips Ultinon D2S is 5800K at 12.8 volts and produces 2400 lumens of light. As you can see, with all other factors remaining constant, the brightness of an HID bulb declines the higher up the color index you go. Vision, a Korean bulb manufacturer, makes an 8000K bulb, which they used to advertise on Acura-Forums as 2000 lumens bright. This is barely a marked improvement over halogens, and will produce more glare and eye fatigue than it is beneficial. 4100K has been proven through tireless independant research by the Germans and Japanese to be the most functional, truest white and thus the brightest possible color temperature (ceteris paribus).

Every car manufacturer in the world (including BMW and Audi) uses none other than a standard 4100K gas-discharge bulb. The reason being is that 4100K is daylight white in color and produces the same color visible light as direct sunlight. This is least fatiguing functional color on the eyes and produces the most comfortable contrast on the road.
