    Default 30k hids

    okay, so i am going to buy some hids off nitro. and i was wanting to get 10k or 30ks. i was wondering if anyone has 30ks on their car and how you like them.

    remember the higher the kelvins the less light output = harder to see... and its hard enough to see with 10k.... i prefer 6k or atmost 8k....but your choice... the 30k are hard to use at night...

    i have 30k on the accord,and i like them just cuz there pink.but as other people say lose lighting ability with higher K.
    also i tended to notice when im around other lights,like other headlights,streetlamps the headlights seem to just blend in with the other lights as you go through..so if your in pitchblack with minimul other lights there good.lol

    well to tell you the truth..i had them on my ebay projector headlights and they were awful,not aimed what so ever,
    then i switched back OEM headlight yesterday and took it out a few hrs ago and i like them alot,alot better,headlights glow pink that i think its pretty cool.but thats just me..

    well for you they will light up the road with a pink-like color and wont allow you to see much... and for oncoming kids and uncles they will see this bright pinkish thing and will more than likely squint and close their eyes when they see it, which is very dangerous in so many ways lol


    P.S. - on a side note, i reccomend you get 4800k or 6000k... nothing like pure white light to aid you in seeing through the dark

    30000k HIDs... LOL

    Anything above 6000k is a bad idea and just looks like **** in general.
