got a guy who wants to sell me a full kit for 100 bucks, he has 35w 10k and 12k. 2 questions 1) is it a good deal 2) what color are they going to look? blue purple white?

 

[danielj]

10k and 12k are not bright at all. The color will be a blue to purple, less white.

Check out the sticky's in this link for pictures, examples and more detail.

I have 8k, 35w and while they look good, are not that bright.

 

[krazyk86cu]

yeah 12 is purple. all the ******* trucks are starting to get these in my town.

brightest is 4300k. 6000k is still pretty freaking bright and has a hint of blue.

 

[wheredthat3go]

so is this a good deal for 100 bucks with installation?

 

[danielj]

Personally, I wouldn't go for it. I'd rather have a kit that will produce more usable light. These kits are getting cheap in price. Several of our sponsors sell them for less then $100 and stand behind their product should something go wrong.

 

[wheredthat3go]

oh and its 10000k and 12000k

That is the Kelvin rating, and like everyone is saying, these are not bright at all, just a pretty color, it will hurt your night driving, 6000K is a very good bright white with a small hint of blue.

Pass on this, not a good deal.

ok guys ty for the input

 

[calidude]

Don't do it. All 8k+ will do is give you color. It doesn't light up the road well at all. If you want bright...go with 4300k.

Hope your not dissapointed, we are just looking out for you and trying to help

 

[danielj]

Yes, my 8k's are "pretty" but man, when I get outside of the city lights, I can't see very far. I imagine in San Antonio you do a decent amount of driving on darker roads. I'd go for performance first.

 

[wheredthat3go]

yeah dont think im going to do it.

 

[calidude]

Just buy them from this forum $80-$100, and see if anyone in your area can help you install.

 

[evilturbo3]

i have 55 watt 6k then i switched 8k and now 10k
and ill say 6k was the best but i like bluish color on 10k

 

[wheredthat3go]

i ended up getting some 8k from him and love the way they look, just a lil bit of blue in em, theyre perfect ty guys

 

[krazyk86cu]

:ttiwwp:

 

[mayalak45]

go with 6k

 

[wheredthat3go]

phone pics sorry

 

[guardian452]

I think 100 dollars installed is a pretty good deal for the whole HID kit. you can just buy diff bulbs if you want. I can get you some 4300k and 6000k bulbs for cheap.

 

[krazyk86cu]

just go ahead and get the kit. You can always change up the bulbs. I just bought these 10000k for $35 from another member. i actually like them :lol: there not as bright as my 6000k obviously, but they look pretty sweet. Pics don't do justice
