Ok I think I am going to purchase a HID kit I just need to know what kind gives the purple light. Not the white or blue but like the purpleish color. thanks

 

dont waste your time with them, they arent as good as a 4300k kit....

 

hmm I will try to answer the question asked. I believe 9000k will yield purple.

 

thanks can any one else vouvh for the 9006 being purple.

Also whats so good about 4003 over the purpleish ones?

 

its 9000k not 9006, yea it'll give the purple glow, just the 4300k gives whiter light.

 

8000 can

definitely 6000k isn't purple. have them in civic. their white as ****. little bit of purple/blue only when shined on other white cars. Like snow.

but the road color its white and looks white.

 

so 8000k
I was looking on ebay and they have the 6000k k2 is that purple or no. I want it to be a definte pruple color n ot just a tint of it. Can any one post pictures with there kit.

 

Different manufacturers say different things.. but it SHOULD be:

4300-4500 = White
5500K = Blue
6000K = Purple

anything higher than 6000K is pretty much useless. There is a pic comparison in the FAQ page at http://www.liteswap.com

 

6k gives a hint of purple
8k gives a hint of blue

edit:atleast on the k2 kits they are...

It really shouldn't matter what brand kit you are using. A temperature rating is standard. A lot of Ebay kits and cheaper kits do not accurately represent this rating.



"Please note that as the k rating increases beyond ~5000k the lumens will begin to drop. Although some manufactures have been able to increase the lumens of their bulbs at higher k ratings, the general rule applies. As the k rating keeps increasing eventually the lumens will begin to drop off."

 

why....why, why, <FONT COLOR="red">WHY?</FONT>

 

just go buy those ricey PIAA plasma bulbs if you want purple headlights.. dont waste $500 on some 8000K bulbs that will just get you pulled over.. but to answer your question, 6000K will be purple.. 7000, 8000, and 9000, are very very blue..and no, neither of these kits look anything like the audi's or BMW's.. thats a scam.. ive seen plenty of 6000K cars driving next to BMW's at night, and the 6000K loses so many lumens that its not intense anymore, you cant even tell its HID.. but take a 4300K philips kitted integra, have him drive next to a bmw.. they will both look the same.. appearance wise, but not on the ground of course..

but yeah, like i said..if you're buying lights for the look, dont waste your money buying a gay looking HID kit.. just go buy PIAA bulbs and save yourself $400

 

people will try anything to get girls these days...girls like purple DUH! FYI...SPW offers single and dual beam HID conversions in blue and purple

right... so spend $40 on purple bulbs and $400 on the girl. I think she would be happier

 

haha alirhgt I will opt for the phillips 4300. Can any one post some comparrisons next to an audi or bmw

 

i had the k2's 8000k and they were blue....no purple just a really bright light blue

 

Have any of you guys read this?

i believe philips' optinon(not really sure) gives a shade of purple. try searching the web or try going to philips' site in japan.

 

here is patrick94gsr's car with 4300K HID next to an S2000 with factory 4300K HID




see that? its exactly the same, appearance wise.. just not light quality wise..

 

Stop wasting your time, bro... if he wants the purple junk let him figure that out for himself after he throws away +$400.

 

haha.. im just sick of this 6000K BS and i want to see it go away..

especially when i see the adds saying "get that BMW look" but every projector car ive seen with a 6000K kit, just looks like PIAA bulbs from the frontal appearance.. light on the ground is a tiny bit better of course, but it has no intensity at all.. and reflector housing cars with 6000K just look like those Nokya Super Whites on sterroids.. nothing like a factory HID car at all.. but these companies continue to make money off people.

 

Im with the Kommander on this one... I hate those 6000K, 8000K and up... they mislead people. Not only that, the kit quality is lacking.

BMW/Audi/Porsche look my ***...

 

SPW sells "Artic Purple" and them hoes are PURPLE!!!
dont confuse them with Nokya "Artic Purple" which are totally diff.!!!

 

grrr i think the group buy on trevors 4300k phillips kits are over, there back to 535 shipped. sniff sniff, i really wanted one

 

in Catz brand 8k is purple if I remember I have the 5700 which is a deep blue...
