I am getting HIDs tmr and have the choice between 8000 and 10000k. I was just wondering if the 10000k purplish lights are actually illegal.

cheers

 

just get 8000 or 6000. I have the 6000 and I love them on my Evo. friend had the 8000 and I didnt like them that much.

 

yup i'd get the 6000k..i have the 8000k on my evo and it's ok but if i could go back i'd get the 600k instead.

 

6000K is more white, 8000 bluish hue. 10,000 is probably purplish (could getyou pulled over).

btw, the higher "K" you go, the less bright the light is

 

Moving up from 3000-10000K, you're essentially moving the light from yellow to purple. Human eyes are best at picking up yellow to white light, this is why fog lights tend to be yellow. While the lights are just as bright, they put out less useable light. If you're doing this because you want brighter lights, stick to 3000 or 4000K. If you want ricer lights, go for 8000 to 10000K.

 

Anything higher than stock 4000k looks Ricey.

i got 8000k...i like it, used to have 6000k on my previous, prefer 8000k better, looks nice. rest is up to you man.

 

i do have 2500k fogs too btw....love them too.

 

most hid companies recommend 6k...i like the 8k personally

 

anything higher than 6000k is illegal
8000k is ok i guess

 

where'd you get that idea? that's pretty lame.

 

I agree, these guys need to update their definition of Ricer. Especially the guy who says anything over 4000K is rice then if you have a BMW or Benz that comes stock with 6000K you're automatically a ricer?

 

I'm sorry but if you're buying HIDs just to get that look, you're a ricer.

 

pictures wont do u justice...
u gotta c it in real lifee...
