Default Post pics of 10000k HID

Does anyone have a 10000k HID kit?? Pics would be awesome. Seems a little bit too bright, would be afraid to blind other drivers, or get pulled over. Pics, pics, pics. Post up, i want to see.

ditto, it just makes everything look mad tight blue, but doesnt even help visibility at all..

I just read and did a little research. Heard bulbs were crappy and didn't last long at all compared to 5300K, Just wanted to see some pics though.

if you want the most useable lighting dont get a kit past 6000K, The higher the number the more bluer or purple they are. I have a 6000K kit an di love them very well worth the investment

I have 6000k HIDs and they look great at night, visibility is awesome and the color is easy on the eyes, I love passing up BMWs and Infinitis and all those are other kind of vehicles with HIDs and just clearing up the road more than they do hehe, I'll try to post pics if I can.

lol.. buying anything above 4300K is a waste of money.. you lose lumens and make your light more blue/purple as you go up.. like those 5000K mcculloch kits.. its just sky blue HID.. and 6000K is terrible.. 10000K is actually around the same intensity as a blacklight, so you actually have less lumens than you would with a normal halogen bulb..

stock halogen bulb lumens = between 1,000 and 1,200.

OEM 4100 - 4300K HID = 3200 lumens

6000K = 2400 lumens

7000K = even worse.. and so on
