H.I.D. 8000k or 10000k

[Mr_White]

I'm thinking about getting some h.i.d.'s but im torn between the 8000k or the 10000k I want it to be blue but still have a lot of light output any feed back would be helpful

[doubleN0alero]

8000 or 6000

[Mr_White]

I dont think the 6000k is blue enough

[doubleN0alero]

too blue and you're asking for trouble...you dont realize how blue they are until you run your high beams for a few minutes and then switch back

[diablo]

H.I.D. Lights are illegal here in manitoba, the brightest u can have is like those xenon lights on and thats pushing it, u can put thoses strobes in on front and back but can't use while driving

[doubleN0alero]

aftermarket HIDs are illegal everywhere...but since when has been illegal stopped anybhody from doing anything?

[Cliff8928]

too blue and you're asking for trouble...you dont realize how blue they are until you run your high beams for a few minutes and then switch back


You will also quickly realize what too blue is if you have to drive at night all the time. That's why when i had one burn out i went to 4300.

[diablo]

very true

[Mr_White]

I know there illegal but who cares ive seen alot of cars with them around here. Ive had blueish white blinkers for 2 years & have a 7 color led in the licence plate & have been pulled over & not one word was said about my lights

[Pimpalero03]

i have 8000k and love it. 6000k is just white looking, and 10000k is purpleish looking. 8000k and ull be happy

[14alero]

[Pimpalero03]

[Mr_White]

^do you have any night pix

[Pimpalero03]

no but there a few pics on here. its accurate on how it looks

[Mr_White]

do you think that McCulloch are the same or better than the Oznium kits

[Pimpalero03]

hard to say. a buddy got oznium and a bulb burned out the first day and he had to wait over a week for another one. could have just been a bad bulb though.. i konw 3 people with mccullach and not one of htem has had an issue yet

[MixtapeMessiah]

thats 6500k on mine

[greenbastard]

do 8000k thats what i'm going to get once i fix my car. it looks so much better than the white and it looks sweet. not putting anyone down or anything

[Satsuriku]

8000k IMO

[alerocar01]

yeah that happened to me with the stupid blubs that are "just like HIDs". got rid of them because it was getting hard to see at night.

[Pimpalero03]

i just installed another kit on a buddys car. 8000k and its so great looking

[Silentalero]

8k is what i can on the acura, and its a happy middle between blue and purple. Light output is ok for his but then again im not in the country to actually use hids for their visibility. And if i am itll light up the road more than halogen anyday.

[steve-o]

I got 8000K, I think anymore then 8k for a daily driver is pushing the chance to get pulled over.

[Mr_White]

well I orderd the 8000k from Oznium should be here on wed. I will have pics up as soon as possible

ps. I'ts not a daily driver ;)

[teflone]

get 8000k's

like I said once before.. I reacently saw 10k's and they are VERY blue.. pulled over blue for sure..

Mine are 8000'k and nice and blue.. dosent draw too much attention here ontario.. I love them.. no problems.. best money I ever spent..

Heres a night pic

Get 8000k, i know what your saying, i was torn between 10 or 8 too, i wanted blue, i ordered 10, but they didnt have anymore, so i got 8 instead, im VERY happy with them. They have a good amount of blue, but they arent VERY blue, deff go with 8, you will be happy

ROTFLMAO!:haha:

[Satsuriku]

lol x2!!!

ya, more imitation shit that dont work worth a damn i bet. i say if you want HID, just fork up the cash (if you can afford it) and do it right the first time

[greenbastard]

that is a waste of your money. get the real thing. it's a kit not just replacement bulbs

[shackney]

oznium is awesome shipped out mine already thats fastest online place ive seen..usually takes couple days to ship this took same day cant wait now...pics when i get it done

I got mine in 3 days

[shackney]

just got mine ordered them fri. putting them in tom. its alrady dark or id do it now

[shackney]

just wondering where you guys mounted your ballast at?

[doubleN0alero]

There is a little ledge down there below the lights....down in the bumper area...I bought the ballast covers and mounted those down there...they are plastic and protect the ballast from the weather...they're a good idea and pretty cheap...might be something to look into.

[Cliff8928]

just wondering where you guys mounted your ballast at?

My ballasts are mounted to the header panel behind the signal light area.

[shackney]

where did you buy the covers from? i know the area ur talkin bout double but i got a neon tube running through there dunno if i have other room or not

[Naich]

I got ballast covers too... I think I got them on ebay if I remember.

[Cliff8928]

I know my ballasts are weather-resistant, so there's no need for covers. They haven't been covered for over 4 years.

[shackney]

got mine installed pics comin soon and do yours flash kinda when you go from your high beams down to the lows? or is it just me adjusting to the bulbs but they look great and are bright

[Cliff8928]

they do have a little bit of a "flash" any time they have to ignite.

[shackney]

ok cool thanks here are the before and after during the day time

[shackney]

shouldnt the 8k have more blue in them? the befores are nokya bulbs

[shackney]

heres a crappy night pic still thought they should be more blue....

[shackney]

another question would it matter if i switch my ballast around? like driver one to passanger one?

[clutch1]

lol x2!!!

ya, more imitation shit that dont work worth a damn i bet. i say if you want HID, just fork up the cash (if you can afford it) and do it right the first time

Actually, I had some of those cheap immitations in the Alero since like July.

They were MUCH nicer than the yellow lights it came with, (in fact, when I broke one I replaced it with stock and the difference was very noticeable) and for $15 (give or take) I'd really recommend them if you don't want to fork out $200 for real HIDs.

The only problem is I've heard some other people don't have quite the luck I had, what with some melted harneses and such.

[shackney]

here some better night pics where you can see the blue in them

[Wild Country]

I have 8000K and absolutely love them

depending on how much you drive you WILL melt the harness sooner or later

[clutch1]

I drove it a lot, but my longest trips were always only about and hour, tops, so I guess that might've had something to do with it.
Or maybe it was just a disaster waiting to happen within a week or something, heh.
