Yeah next paycheck Ill finish the whole set. I knew for sure my fog lights were HID just by looking at them.

 

You mean "weren't"? The fogs are halogens. H11 bulbs. Not HID.

 

Just mentioning it, that rule only goes for US models. Mine has fog lights but not HID headlights.

 

alright well heres a question... i have a base model and im thinking about getting the RPM stores HID conversion kit but i dont know which one to get, the 35w or the 55w, whats the difference in the lighting? more power or? Theres a note saying the color changes if you get the 55w ballast...

[U]"55-watt ballasts tend to wash out the color of the bulbs, so you may want to choose a higher color temperature than you would if you were ordering a 35-watt kit."[/U]

so what should i go with, 35w with 6k's or 55w with 8ks???

 

I went with the 35W with the 6000k and it is nice and white with a tiny tiny hint of blue.. its the pic on the first page..

 

hmm... im totally debating on how much blue i want... either 6k or 8k

but whats the diff in 35w and 55w?

 

Ahh! me too! I think I will end up with the 8000k because that way everyone will know they are my own, and not stock. Plus I have a blue look with interior lights in the car and whatnot...

 

nice... ok so im deff going with 8k but now what wattage should i get, 35w or 55w... i still dont know what the difference it makes in HID's

 

same as any other bulb...... brighter.

 

alright well thanks i was just making sure heh, ok well i know what im ordering now... 55w 8k's with a H7 bulb type with no relay...

 

55W is too bright. get the 35W or you might get some unwanted attention.

 

really??? too bright??? **** ugh well now im stuck with 6k or 8k because the 55w would wash out the color... i mean i dont want all blue, i want something that looks balanced but also being able to see the blue easily just not too much...

And thanks Alex, ill go with 35w, but my ^ problem still exsists lol

 

From what I understand 35w is still much brighter than halogen. I also saw a video that was saying something about how conversion kits can cause the light to scatter and it is like having your brights on, so it messes up oncoming traffic. I would recommend the 35w because apparently these kits are illegal(at least in some places). so getting noticed for that, wouldn't be good.
Plus the stock halogens are 55w, and you're always safer going with a lower wattage. than higher, but just to be safe, go with the 35w, they have proved to work.

 

If theres a side-by-side picture of 6k's and 8k's that someone actually took other than a website pic it would put my problem to ease...

 

I think you'll be satisfied with 35w 6000k in any case.

 

well i just dont want too much blue or too little... but i think ill go with 6k

 

Remember that the higher the color temp, the lower the light output. The color temp is just a label applied to the bulb, probably measured at a base of 35W. If you push more wattage through an 8000K bulb, you are raising the light output which in turn will lower the color temp (washing out the color as RPM puts it). So, effectively a 6000k 35w and a 8000k 55w will look similar colorwise and have a similar output.

So, if you are going for maximum brightness go for the 55w in the lowest color temp. If you are going for lots of color, get the 35w in 8000k (or higher if you want). Mixing high wattage with a high color temp bulb isn't really going to get you anything except costing you more and using more wattage.

 

35W HID is the standard wattage of OEM HID headlights, FYI.

 

i want some HID's... think ill go with 35w 6k

 

one more question, putting in the new HID's with the conversion kit shouldnt mess up the adjustment on them should it??? because i love the level mine are at right now...

AND: krijpipudht, Aipex8 and lilring, what lights are yall running? 6k or 8k?

 

I have the 6000K.. and for the adjustment. it all depends on how straight you put the bulbs in. But it should be fine.

 

8000k

 

right... i think im gonna go with 8k's

 

I ordered my 8k's today. Good price, for HIDs and conversion kit. It was about $70 on ebay.

 

im gonna get mine at the RPMstore... or w.e its called, good price with a lifetime warranty... i cant complain...
