if you want people to reply to this - why not do a search for HIDs - i've already seen a handful of posts of people who are looking for converison kits~

 

10000K?!? Hehe...might as well just mount some blacklights to your bumper while you're at it..

 

how can i make it for people to search?

 

alright - maybe you want to jot this down ... do a serach on HIDs - you'll see a list of all the posts where people are interested - then you post your info, and people will reply - how about that?

 

if I could get like 20,000K, up in the UV range or something.. then I could actually just cook with my lights. schweet. who needs a bar-b-que grill?? I can cook a burger on my bumper..

 

How high is to high? Not remembering my visual spectrum and range...could someone shed some "light" on the issue...

I like my current one (factory XXXXK I dont remember) If I go higher does it get brighter, clearer, both or none?

 

That's like into the UV range. I don't know if cops will like that since it won't be visible to your naked eyes. Visble blue I'm guessing is 6000K at the highest. Check out this graph:

 

Oh, and another thing...I'm getting peeved at these bulb manufacturers where they only tout how many degrees Kelvin their bulbs are and how close they are to the HID look. But...I believe real HIDs pump out a LOT more candlepower than standard halogen lights. I wish they would include both light color and candela on their packaging. True, "Cheap HID look without spending $500 for the conversion kit" may sound more appealling, but at the end of the day, it's still not "HID-like".

Unless anyone know any halogen bulbs that are actually comparable to HID in candlepower? Or, is it as I believe, that that candlepower is only available to HIDs?

 

True HID bulbs put out much more light than halogen bulbs. Real HID bulbs achieve the higher color temperature based on the composition of the gases and salts in the bulb. With that said, the highest color temperature HID bulb I have seen that is still clear is 6000k (BTW - tests have shown it's closer to 5800k). With the 6000k bulbs, you get a higher color temp, but lose lumen output. What sucks about these 7000k, 8000k, 10000k! HID bulbs is that they defeat the purpose of HID altogether - in order to achieve these high color temperatures most of them coat the bulb blue - in essence making it a VERY expensive riceboy, look-a-like HID bulb. Not to mention, those coatings help cut down more of your light output as well.

Just like someone mentioned here about the look-a-like halogen blue bulbs, the color temperature may be close to real HID, but the light output is nowhere near HID - in fact, OEM clear halogen bulbs put out more light than those!

There's a lot more that goes into this topic - but generally, the higher the color temperature, the more light you're going to lose - especially if the bulb (halogen or HID) has a coating.
