egay halo headlights + HIDS question

[1NonlyAccord]

Iv been curious if my egay halo projectors are taking away the full HID effect..i have McCulloch 30k HID kit(yes there really 30k!)they look whiteish/blue..but Nitro and the person i bought them from says 30k are pink? would putting these in normal headlights bring the true color and brightness out?

sorry if its a noob question.im just curious.

front view( before i took off the body kit!) i personally like the halos at night and the black housing.


lights up the street pretty good when its just me,but around other lights and oncoming traffic it kinda deadns them. if that makes since.

For the egay headlights the brightness will be affected because of quality... OEM headlights will have a bad glare.... best is do a retofit...

yes thats true. ebay headlights use sheap plastic that can shift the light or block the output completely.

Plastic is plasting wether is cheap or not. When it's new AND if it's clear, it will put out the same amount of light.

Nothing other than looks. If you want REAL lighting then you need to stick with 4300k which is what comes stock in most cars. That puts out 4500 lumens if I'm correct as opposed to 1500 lumens that halogen/12000k HID put out. I'm not quite sure on the exact amount of light going out but it is almost three times more.

looks as in the color? as im told its supose to be pink/lavender.(sp)

[aaronfelipe]

The higher in temperature you go, the less light output. Halogen lights put out the same amount of lumens as a 12k HID would. 30K HID= NO lumens.

[aaronfelipe]

The higher your go up in temperature, the less light is put out.


Bottom line, if all you care about is looks, then you have to sacrifice visibility. Personally, it makes more sense to invest that much money on something that will IMPROVE your overall driving experience (4300k-6000k).

i have had 6000k and now i have 8000k and i really cant tell that much difference but i have heard anything over 8000k is a a waist.

**Yet again, another HID thread.. **

[AnthonyF]

you do know, just b/c it is a higher K rating, doesnt mean its the brightest light. and why would u want 30k? i have 10K

[1NonlyAccord]

i just traded sum guy on here for my MTX thunder 4051? amp for them..so they were kind of free because the amp and jl w6 was givin to me also.

[Mchnhead2k5]

just go out and buy some HID bulbs that are in the 4300k to 6000k range that should fix your problem.

[SPOOLIN]

looks like you need to aim your headlights.

What you guys thing about that website, the fog beams for my FC ?

[§treet_§peed]

8000k is where it's at and yeah it owuld help to aim them up a tad bit. you can also take out the peice of metal inside the projector that tends to block some of the light

[Mchnhead2k5]

whatever you do, don't take out the metal piece/cutoff for the light. You'll be blinding on coming passengers.
