i got a 10,000k hella hid kit i was wonder if i got sum 6,000k bulbs can the 10k ballasts still work wit the 6k bulbs or would u jus need to get a new ballasts

the hid in the day light

 

Pictures don't work bro!

 

I believe the ballasts are ok, and u just can change the bulbs. Hope fully u can find some bulbs that directly plug into your ballasts

 

nice car!

 

Im pretty sure when they say "10,000k" its the rating within the bulb and not the ballasts. Someone correct me if I'm wrong?

 

Dunno about he bulbs, but what type of red paint do you have on that?
Very nice shade, I'd almost consider doing it with my car.

It looks like the stock R-81 Milano Red. Avoid it, as it fades.

 

front bumper looks darker than the rest of the car

and it's not the paint color that is the reason for fading. It's how honda clears their red paint. They use different steps when painting red.

 

Very nice RS you got there. (It is, right? No sunroof, black mirrors and side molding. Just like mine)

You think it is the milano red? It reminds me of the leguna seca blue with the shade of color it is.
It actually looks really nice, being how dark it is.

I think it is Milano Red because the side moldings and mirrors are still unpainted black. If jspekdc2 painted the car, he most likely would have painted those as well.

 

hey, where can i find some real hid kits and do they even have any amber corner lense for the 94 front turn signals - usdm???

 

i would sell u mines.. plus amber corners

My 97 was Milano red. I took good care of it, and was complimented on it many times when I sold it. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=418883

It depends where you keep it (garaged or not), how you take care of it, etc. In that respect, all paint is relatively the same.

And to the original poster, the 10K rating is for the bulb, not the ballast.

 

I'm guessing it must be in a different light since it looks a lot darker in the picture then Shamoo's car? I was thinking that was actually a dark red too.

 

Looks like milano red to me.

 

In the HID world, 10,000k is useless. 4000k-5000k provides the best usable white light.. anything over is actually losing light.

Bulbs dictate the kelvin, not ballasts. HID projectors output the blue flicker, not the bulb.

I second this.
