Dude evodude9 the 4300 kit is that yellow!? thats almsot more yellow then the stock hallogens? did you get a bad set or something? now im really worried about getting my kit. oh yea the reason why im not getting 5300 is cause xenon depot doesnt have any of these kits in 5300 or else id probably get 5300 but now im leaning more towards the 6000 side... but still evodude9 iono if its the picture quality or maybe my computer monitor lol but thats pretty yellow.. how does it compare to the stock projector halogens?

 

I'm thinking somethings wrong with that kit that evodude9 got. That's not 4300K. I don't know what components Xenondepot uses, but Sylvania and Philips bulbs and ballasts don't cast a beam like that in a 4100K set up.

 

yea i mean thats CRAZY dim... and yellow maybe he got a lemon kit?

 

im not saying its better, im just saying a higher K HID, visually when driving seems to light up the road a hella alot better then something thats 4300 k. i beleive as we speak thats what i have on my evo now. is about 4300 and i believe is gives very poor visibility. Even though it is a FACT why would everyone change them out for a higher K? because the visibility SUCKS. thats the only point im trying to make. i have a 05 non SSL gsr, and i put aftermarket HIDS which were i believe 8 or 10 k and they made the street and everything light up nicely. but because my set blew out someone gave me two sets of 4300 k and i have to say i think even the stock halogens brightened everything up alot better.

 

to get good light that isnt to blue go for lights that are 4500k - 5500k. 6000k starts going bluish. 4500k depending on globes will either give good white or white/yellow

 

that is exactly how it looks. and yes it's probably dimmer than my halogen. i've asked xenondepot y it is so yellow and he said it's like that initially for about 200hrs then it'll be more to the white colour. in regards to y it is so dim i don't have an answer for that. it was a waste of money i must admit.

if i were u i would go for the 6000k xenondepot one i had that in my previous car and it was very bright.

the only difference btw the 2 kit (beside the rating) is the ballast and the ignitor, the old one had the ballast and ignitor build in, the newer phillip one has a slimmer ballast and an ignitor.

i expected the output to be similiar the this one but unfortunately it isn't https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=207716

 

xenondepot uses philips rebase bulbs and it's a geniune philip ballast as well

 

In response to my longer post earlier, my kit looks nothing like this...Are you sure you ran enough grounding?...Depending on how far down the road you want to see, I would reccomend looking into the 4300K, I have it on my car and I am pleased with my purchase.

 

You're clueless dude. That's all I got to say.

 

hey can u send me a pics of urs so i can see.
my kits came with 2 wiring harness and i ran both withthe grounding on the battery.

i don't think it has anything to do with the grounding though, that's what i''ve been told. if the ballast fires up it is, it doesn't depend on the grounding.

post number 3 will fill you in all the problems, colors, etc.

here is the difference in color....

 

i believe 4200 or 4300 is the brightest you can get.... the higher it gets more purple.. but doesnt get any brighter, it actually loses brightness.

to each his own, but 4200-4300 will be the brightest.

 

But it doesn't. Your friend with the SRT put a HID kit into a set of reflectors designed for halogen, so yeah, it does "light up everything on the road" - with blurry purple light that throws light into oncoming lanes, I'm sure it looks quite impressive compared to stock halogen, but 10000K probably puts out less usable light then halogen does. LEt him drive for any significant time at night and I'm sure he'll suffer from eye strain, fatigue and he'll realize how sucky 10000K really is. It is no match for a quality tight focused beam of a 4100K OEM system.

Everyone huh?

Again, the whole HID in a halogen projector/reflector set up. Its like a sawed off shotgun of light, not like the focused beam you get with a real HID system with projectors designed for HID.

They blew out because all that 8-10K crap is made in Taiwan and Philips and Sylvania don't fool with those colors because they don't produce enough usable light.

6000K is the highest I would go, you still get enough usable lumens, but sacrifice a little for the nice blue light. I would think 6000K Philips Ultinons would be the best (I have heard they are actually 5800K).
