??????? will the 12000k HID's melt the integra light housing??????????????

if so what is the highest rated HID the integra housing can handle?

 

? the kelvin rating is for color ??

that being said 12,000 k will probably be darker than OEM halogen

 

HID's draw less amperage than halogen. Therefore I don't think you will have a problem with any housing melting.

kelvin rating and light output have an indirect relationship. The higher the kelvin rating, the lower the emitted light will be. Stick with your halogen bulbs if that's your intention.

 

well the 12000k is a bluish purple color .... looks really hot.. but i also know that there is a heat rating scale anyone know what the heat rating for the housing are.

well the hid's actually improve visibility darastically... so i like to see were i am going.

anyways any help would be cool thanks.

 

Though I have not seen it in person, 12k is supposed to be a lot darker than 4500 or 6000. I'm personally going with 6000k, which is supposed to have a bluish look. 4500k (white) is supposed to illuminate the best.

Not with HID's rated at 12000K. You will get less light output than your halogen bulbs. Color may be all there, but you won't be able to see s**t.

 

12k is wayyyyyyyy tooo darkkk

my buddy has 10k and its rediculously blue

my other friend has 6k and even that is pretty blue

12k is nutty, you will get pulled over, but to each his own

plus really crappy light output

6k
8k
10k
12k

 

4300-4500 will have the brightest light

I have personall seen 6,000k and 8,000 k
6,000 was a good looking blue'ish color, but less light output
8,000 was pure ****** purple, and had very poor light ouput

I can't even imagine 12,000k
my reccomendation, get OEM bulbs 4,300-4,500

 

stunners!

 

I've got 7k and it looks ******y purple

let this be a lesson to all

 

no it won't melt
as long as you have room between hid bulb and the plastic lenses, you should be fine

 

Any of you guys get these HID kits?

Looks like it's a good product, but just wanted to know if any of you have tried it. I'll probably go with the 5600k

 

As others have said stick w/4300-4500K, if you want a blue light get some neons.

 

BMW retrofit owns all



the little bit of glare I have is because my car is white, and the light is reflecting off my bumper

 

guys, remember V = IR from physics? it actually, works.

V = voltage (e.g. 35 watts,)

I = current (amps)

R = resistance (ohms)

since in the system the resistance remains the same, voltage and current have a directly relational proportion. voltage goes down, so does the current used.

Voltage is measured in volts. Power in watts. P=IV.

 

there is no noticeable heat difference between ratings on HIDs for cars, the 4300 or 6000 up to your insanely blue rating of 12000 is for color rating.

...How could you, that's so uncool

BAN! GTFO!

you actually made me wonder about how i wired up a few led's...

luckily i used the V=IR formula (12 v)

 

Dont even waste your time 12000k HID's.

I would rather drive with my lights off before using a set of 12000k.

 

12k, are you kidding? Might as well stick candles into your headlamps.

hahahaha..that will melt your light housing for sure. and it will got out about 10mins or so..lol

 

Stop being a ricer and get some 4300 or 6K if you want a little tint to them...the higher # does NOT mean more light

 

anything over 8k
