Hid - Page 3

i really wish companies would list the actual light output of their bulbs instead of the kelvin rating, it makes it seem as though you are getting something compareable to hid when in fact your silverstars will look more hid and put out more light.

Well for the light itself, yes.. it IS MUCH whiter than standard Halogen bulbs.. but the total output in light is still kinda "ehhh" I'm not sure if it is my wireing harness that is NOT doing the job.. maybe it's not pumping enough juice for the bulbs to burn @ it's brightest.. dunno.. it's white yes, but bright.. I wish it was just a tad bit brighter than it is.. OH btw, if you go to: Luminics Direct, they WILL give you ALL the information about their bulbs.. which is pretty kool..

Can't.. wait.. until.. tax return.. gotta.. get.. HID.. *falls to the floor*

ahfrederick · 05-12-2006, 10:58 PM

OH it's SOO on this weekend! The return came in and next on the list is either a 6K or an 10K kit.. any suggestions?

bjm · 05-13-2006, 01:35 PM

if you go 10Kk it may look neat but at that point you will not be projecting enough visible light to really give yourself a good beam pattern. go 6Kk you will be very happy. if you want to go 8Kk, which is what i have, buy the 6Kk and ill trade you bulbs. like i said before the 8Kk lights everything up but is a little too blue for me and i kinda wish i had gone 6Kk.

ahfrederick · 05-13-2006, 01:42 PM

heh.. thanks for the suggestion.. I'll go with the 6K package.. sorry don't really want the BLUE HUE to my light.. I just want the BRIGHTEST and WHITEST light possible!

oh btw, you said the install was easy,.. right?

that only way i could see someone not being able to do it is if they could not figure out which post on the battery was positive.
