can anyone help me cause i just bought brand new 10000k hids for my 95 civic and i just put them in and they are not blue they look like stock color but a little brighter.....and i hooked up everthing right and the book says 10000k right on there so i know i got the right ones....is it just becuase i need to let them warm up or something? the website i got it from is http://www.xenoneyes.com/index.php?page=hidkits

 

lower the K the whiter they are(up to 4300k after that they get yellow), the only USEFUL k setup is 4300k
the rest are USELES...very bright,,, very distracting etc

I wouldn't complain

however pix could help here.

 

So basically you just told us your a ricer, and don't know anything about lighting.

He's a ricer because he bought a product and was asking about it?

 

lol, in the website the pics look photochopped. They didnt even do a selection on the light,they just added a filter lol.In other words painted the whole pic

 

haha what a bunch of bullshit

- house lights in the back change in color as well as hids
- EXACT SAME position
- everything changes color, not just what the light covers

10000k is overkill..

i'd stay with around 6000k

HAHAH! CLASSIC!

 

If you really knew anything about HID, you wouldn't have gotten 10,000K and you wouldn't have put them in stock reflector housings.

 

ok i know why they wasnt blue now i was so pissed off and then i sat in my car and for some reason i put the high beam on and they turned blue...lol soooo for some reason my low beam is a stock color and my high beam is when the balster kicks in and it turns blue lol here is a vid.

have joe take a look at them

 

Obviously you put them in the wrong socket.

!0000K is way too shitty. And just because the number goes higher doesn't mean the lighting is more efficient.

4300-6000K is your best bet. The actual light output is counted by lumens.

And I don't know about Civics (stock projectors or none?) but it's fine if you put it into a Teg and run it as they come with stock projectors, not the greatest but projectors nonetheless.

If you have just regular *** housing that **** is gonna glare like crazy.

Buy a new set and put them in the right socket. Then retrofit FTW!

 

OK...running an HID hi beam on a stock halogen equipped car will give you nothing but headaches, I don't know why you bothered with that...and why spend a few hundred on a piece of **** kit if you're gonna do a decent retro? You can't really reuse the parts. Are you not good with money or are you lying to cover up the fact that you cheaped out and got a ghetto HID kit instead of a retro?

to add to all this nonsense, turning them on and off constanly lik that isnt good either, hot cold hot cold hot cold hot cold.
