Let's see your HIDs. Tell me all about them. What K, what color, brightness, how well it works, how long it lasted or supposed to last, and at last, how you like them. I'll start, here's mine...

12K eBay HID bulbs...
So far, going on 3 months and I really like them. Not very bright, but luckly, we got fogs so no need for bright HIDs for me. Very colorful though, they shine purple and mixes really nice with the yellow fogs. It makes the projector look even better when the lights are on. They are sky blue. Of course, you can't see that in the pictures.

 

Genesis 10k bulbs, nice blue color, decently bright at night

 

You guys do understand that any HID bulbs rated over 4300k result in a significant reduction in output lumens?

Hence, you're ruining your light output/visibility in favor of some blue/purple autozone-esque nonsense.

The color from an OEM HID setup (such as the one found on an IX MR) comes from the design of the projector/cutoff shield itself and has nothing to do with the bulb.

 

I want my time back.

 

i have pics of my ebay hid kit at home, will post later

 

Of course. I am pretty sure everyone is aware of that. Like I said before, it's lucky that we also have fog lights. If I was left with only just the head lights to work with, no I would not have changed them. I was well aware of that when I changed mine. It's only for looks! Show and not shine.

 

I really need a better camera and photo software. I work with PAINT.

 

Less lumens - more color.
More lumens - less color.

 

I got stock low beams and 6000K Fogs. Visibility at night is amazing!

 

Your bulbs are nice. I was about to go with 30K bulbs for the purple look but I don't think there would be any light left.

 

NMFDChris, nice. I might have to switch my fogs over to HIDs too!

 

I was skeptical about getting them at first but im so glad i did. They fit in perfectly theres no oncoming glare and they shine right down in front of the road.

 

^^Same here. I still have to get mine re-adjusted. No matter how many times I try to adjust it, it just looks like it doesn't even move. My passenger side light is way higher than the other side!

 

 

4300k I've had this kit in 3 of my cars. I won't go any higher in the k's.
