well the maxima housings were never meant for HIDs anyways so its not really that great. thats why people complain about the glare. but it does give you more umph in light output. mainly its all in the design of the reflectors/projectors that give you the distinct cutoff and light concentration. if you want that, then get a projector retrofit kit.

 

ok everybody thanx 4 the help im 99.9% sure im gonna go w/ the mcculloch plugnplay 8k unless anyone has more suggestions

 

6000k, 12000! thats somthing cops would pull you over for here in cali, mine are already blue as hell

 

dang, your 7000k seems bluer than mine. but the led nozzles are..........

 

Don't go with anything above 6000K. Waste of money,And whatever you do
DO NOT buy McCullah. Dey are the worst. Go search the net for their many horror stories. If you must go with a kit go with 4000K - 6000K with a harness to run power straight from the battery. But with a little more money you can get some projectors with OEM bulbs an ballast which is way more dependable. You'll then get the most lumens while achieving that blue/purple flicker you want. Stickin a kit in will never achieve what you want because unlike the Acura your reflector base housing was never designed to HID specifications. Trust me I learned the hard way. Do a retro. That's what I'm doing next. 8000K SUCKS in bad weather and you lose your high beams. Waste of time and money!!!

 

8000K + Narva Ralley Golds in sig

 

do you have link for the retro write-up? i've been looking for it but i just can't seem to find it.

 

i cant remember now, sorry. It was a major one. I know that the bulbs base was a metal, extremely well made 9004. The problem was that it was just a wall of light that came out of my car. Think of the light output similar to a maglight that needs to be twisted to get a sharp focus. It was way out of focus.

 

i heard 10000k to 12000k produces less lumens or whtever and are mostly illegal.

 

phillips 6000k

Pure white w/hint of blue.

 

defenitly the nicest in this thread...
