i just ordered a set for my RA... anyone have em in our cars?? are they a waste, or worth it????

 

if you think it'll look good then i dont see why it'd be a waste. im actually considering doing this mod with my 6k lows

 

oh i know it'll look good, but it snot abou that... its about output

 

a true gas filled 3000k bulb will likely produce the most light output next to 4300k. hardly a waste. It will enhance your ability to see. I have them as my Low beams and they work wonders.

When you talk about a waste is someone who uses 10000k or higher for low beams. pure waste. especially when your in rain or in true fog.

 

thats good news

 

Don't do it unless you plan on doing a retrofit because our housings shoot light all over the place. Your just going to blind people. * Maybe not so much in the fog lights but in the headlights.

 

^ don't do what?

 

Install HIDS in halogen housings.

 

the fogs shouldnt be bad... i used to have 8000K hids in my headlight and never got flashed once... i took them out cause one of the ballasts broke on me

 

Who said anything about putting HIDs in halogen housings? Our fogs are already projectors iirc

 

The fogs are projectors made for a halogen bulb not HID. It might not looks as bad as our headlights.

It's not about just blinding people but the light output is all over the place. Have a look at a vehicle with stock hid and you will know what I mean.

 

i have 6000k HIDS for headlights, and then regular bulbs for fogs but i put a yellow tint film over the lense and i love the hid with yellow fog look. but the difference is i spent 10$. and i like how with the regular bulbs they dont overpower the hids and they arent stupid bright like a civic its clean looking. But thatss your call:]

 

and who cares as long as your not being blinded:]

 

Smart one here. This is what gives people who mod cars a bad rep.

 

If it ain't broke, don't fix it
