Which hid's are which

[1995DC2]

are 6000k hids the ones from a certain angle you see a glare of blue and purple. like the ones i see on evos all the time.

i think it's the different cut-offs on cars that determine that. correct me if i'm wrong, though.

 

[heykosal]

Color temperature affects the color, not angle.

 

[Spody02]

no i believe your correct
6000k is just how bright they are going to be
if you want to see the differences go to the for sell page
and look up the group buy on hid and look on the first page near the bottum
for the picture of the all the different temps from 4300-12000
but i heard they do go up to 14000 now!

Anything hotter than 6000k is :rice:

Useless. Unless its a show car or something. As Kelvin gets higher, light output diminishes. But yeah I think the 6000k has the bluest tint. BlueISH whiteISH. Above that it starts turning purple and pink! Sorry for not answering your question the first time I posted.

The change in color that you are seeing is the cutoff from a projector, it creates a color band and shows more color os the spectrum, and sometimes it can be modified to create even more color as seen here

I have 8000K. I love it. It's mostly white with a little tint of blue. Similar to what you see with Bimmers. I used to have 4300K, but got bored of it after a while.

wow most people go opposite of that lol cause 4300k put out more light then the 8000k

I understand that, but I wanted something unique. 4300K to me was like having a 9005 conversion.

The cutoff does distort the color some but the actual color of an HID headlight is determined by it's temperature on the color spectrum

I know this, but with factory HID it is cause more so by the cutoff of the projector,

I wasnt trying to bust on anyone! I guess I shouldnt have said it was ricey but rather just stated the facts. And Matt 8000k still isnt so bad, but 12000k Ricky? RICER!!!!!!

:lol:

If I had the choice, I'd go with 3000K. Unfortunately... SoCal highway patrol forbids anything that's not pure white or close to it.
