HIDS 6k or 8k?

[Drew707]

4500K-5000K is closer to most factory color headlamps. 6000K is pure white.

really? pure White? my friend has 6ks on his 5th gen and they're like real light blue like the blue is very very noticable. maybe its the different brand that he has

I'll try to get a pic of the 6Ks when I put them in my coupe. I'll also see about getting a pic of the chevy, but the 8K headlamps make the fogs look blue through a camera.

6k has a very very slight blue tint to it.

Someone close this thread, topic has been beaten to death

Kaixen 6K HID FTW!!! It's ice blue color.

4300 - 5000k is the truest white range for HID's.

Would recommend sticking with that range for headlights/fogs, unless you want yellow HID as an option.

55w 8k is straight white it starts up blue but when warmed up its white and alot brighter then most ppls hids i love em i dont get ppl flashing brights at me and havent been pulled over yet( knock on wood ) i got them aimed low ddmtuning ftw

55w is fine for the headlights, 35W for fogs.

I have been hearing alot of good things about DDM tuning, that combined with their prices are making them look very appealing.

^Don't forget lifetime warranty.

55w is usually a problem in our reflectors because of the hotspots, but temp wise it will not hurt anything. And anything over 6k becomes useless.

 

[SoCalAccord2000]

on the website it says that 55w washes out some of the color so 8k=6k, 35w 8k would be more blue
