I'm finally getting a pair of 10k Hids from the GD. How will this affect my light output with my Cefiro One piece headlights? Or is this gonna be buy it anyway and see what happens after kinda deals....

 

You might get a minimal amount of glare?

Projector retro FTW! =P

 

10k blue and output will suck. 10k has less lumens than halogen so you woul not see any better worse if anything.

 

10 k is :attention, rice, and terrible output

 

Your stock will probably have more output than the 10k HID. You can get them if you like but your output will look like crap.

 

4300k is best for output. IMO it looks hott too.

 

6k for a happy compromise.

 

Agreed, the 4300k we all know has the most white in it but if you want some color (which iswhat everyone seems to want) do the 6000k.
Why anyone would sacrifice that much light output for the intense color is beyond me.

 

a guy i met near my apartment yesterday showed me his 12000k's, and i thought those were pretty damn bright myself.....was kind of a SLIGHT blue/violet tinted light. i thought it looked pretty good.

 

Anything above 6k is rice, they might look cool, but I'd hate to be him on a rainy night. You can almost get the same tint by color modding projectors and you will have more light.

 

10000k HID is a waste of money as far as functionality is concerned. it may look bright, but actual output on the ground will not be that great thus defeating the purpose of a High Intensity Discharge system. if you want something that looks great and has great output, 6000k is a good way to go. for the best output, 4300k seems to be the consensus.
but when it all comes down to it, its all personal preference.

 

how do you color mod projectors

 

Adjustments are made to the cut off sheilds either by bending or spacing them away from the bulb.
