make sure whatever you get says "4300K" .. anything above that is less light and more color.. meaning "rice" .. as HT likes to say.. so here is a guide when you go buy your kit

4300K =

5000K = rice
6000K = rice
7000K= rice
8000K = rice

and so on..

 

thanks....but i just realized canada doesnt account for your bullshit laws so i can still get whatever the hell i want. TS for you us guys

 

i have an XenonDepot kit!!!

see sig!

 

i've got the SPW 4800k H4 high/low kit, which uses a HELLA ballast. I am about to swap it out and sell it, in favor of a custom Bi-Xenon 4100k setup.

 

5200k w/ hella ballasts.

very NOT rice.

no color, straight up WHITE.

now, if only i could access the custom electric device me and my friends rigged up to change the fuses that fell out, they might work. lol

 

CATZ 4500k

actually, if you want to be super retarded about it, 4300k is rice as they have 4800k, which is actually brighter than 4300k.

actually.. i guess im pretty retarded then.. because i read somewhere before that 4800K puts down 200 less lumens than 4300K..

at least he tried..

probably went with the "sunlight is around 5000K, so thats the brightest" theory.. but the higher above 4300K that you go, the more blue is introduced.. and if you think about it, how can blue light be more efficient or have more lumens than white lights?

thats why all the mccolloch kits ive seen that are "5000K" and dipped in blue **** dont light up the ground nearly as good as a normal 4300K philips kit does. but to each their own, i just think when u are spending a large ammount of money, you might want to buy the best..

 

I got a Catz 4300K kit from Visualdynamics. Great kit and well worth the coin.

Contact Trevor at http://www.visualdynamics.ca he specializes in Catz kits.

 

what is the lumens difference between 4100k and 4300k? i am going to custom fabricate a bi-xenon projector onto my civic using 4100k bulbs. this setup is suppossedly the same setup out of a 7-series BMW.

the factory HID's are always rated either 4100, 4250, or 4300.. but they're all the same.. your HID's will have 3200 lumens.

 

How much better is 4300k than 6000k? I have a chance to get a good deal on a 6000k hella hid kit. Is that good or should i not buy that?

 

I have the vision 6000k and they look like an oem hid, but I guess my car is a rice burner now because they are 6000k instead of 4300k.

Yep, pretty much.

I have the TL 4300k OEM HIDs. Love them. I am currently in the process of getting them into some denji projectors.

4300K = 3200 lumens

6000K = 2400 lumens (but thats only the philips ultinon kit)

other brands of 6000K put out less.. so basically you lose 1/4 of your light or more going from 4300 to 6000.. not worth the money in any situation in my opinion.

 

got S2K HID's

 

phillips 4300K in my lexus

6000k = purple = purple is a homos color
