Have any of you seen the Sylvania Xenarc's yet??? I originally wanted Phillips but I can't seem to find them under 500 bux all of a sudden. I have someone whoo was able to get Hella's but now all they sell are 12000k's for H4 vehicles. He's supposed to show me some pics of them tonite but the more i read about HID's the more i want the 6000k Phillips Ultinon.

Anyone see any of these kits or know where i can get a Phillips Ultinon kit 6000k for H4 (Civic) and a 4300-5000k kit for an integra??

When I have the money it seems like either they aren't available or people are jacking up the pricing. Please help I am getting frustrated.

 

No one knows????

 

http://www.turboevo.com has the Ultinons in stock. I can also get them for you for $475 shipped.

i wouldnt even pay $200 for a 6000K kit.. but if thats what you like..go for it..

 

I was going to IM you but since you have it disabled............ How much could you do one 9006 4300k or 5200k (W/DS2 bulbs) for an integra and H4 6000k (W/D2R bulbs) for a civic???

I wasn't really looking to go over 450. Also how much would shipping be to Austell, GA 30106?

 

I know that the general consensus is that you should go over 4300k but I've seem to come across a lot of info that says that 5200k puts out 3200 lumens, 6000k puts out 3000 lumens and 7000k puts out 2800 lumens. I'm a newbi when it comes to HID's but I have been doing a lot og homework in the last couple of weeks.

Also I've seen the 4300 put up against the 600k and I gotta say it does make the 4300k look kinda yellowish.

Another open that seems to be prevalent is that fact because integra's use 9006's and have projector type headlights that they do better on 4300k because of the projector housing whereas someone like me with reflector type headlights would do better with 6000k because of the type of head lights I have.

Any opinion. I'm always open to more information, esp about something like this because I don't want to have to buy the same thing twice.

 

actually, i dont make HID kits.. but after i sold my integra, my new car takes different bulbs..so my 9006 4300K D2S kit is just sitting in my room.. i would like to sell it.. but i havent thought about a price yet..

 

That was for the previous poster. The post above you was in response to you.

whoever gave you those lumen ratings.. wow..

4300K = 3200 lumens
6000K= 2400 and below

the higher the kelvin, the darker the color gets.. the darker the color gets, the less light you have.. and if u think 6000K's look like the audi or bmw.. put them on your car, then drive one of your friends cars, so u can see your HID's behind you in the mirror.. you will be very disappointed then.. they dont look like HID in a projector housing, not even in an OEM HID projector.. the intensity is gone, and they just look like PIAA bulbs..

 

Okay so I'm dead wrong on the Lumen output then.

What are your thoghts on the phillips ultinon kit that is available for 6000k....still garbage?

What about the hella 5200k?

 

philips ultinon is actually 5800K and has a lumen rating of 2400lumens, and it is the only quality 6000K kit on the market.. but i still wouldnt spend money on a 6000K kit with 2400 lumens, knowing i could have spent less to get more..

what i mean by that is, 99% of these companies out there selling BS HID kits, lie and advertise their 6000K kits as an "upgrade" from 4300K.. and they also tell you it will give you that "cool BMW look" which is total BS as well.. so in doing that, they sell their 4300K kits for like $400 ..and the 6000K kits for $650.. so you are spending way more to get a lot less..

edit:
and about that Hella 5200K kit.. its still bluer than 4300K, so im not a fan of it.. but if its made by Hella, it has to be good quality.. so i will at least give it that..
