Hey everyone, I just got my new HID's put in today they are a deep amethyst purple color. (yes I did it myself). Pics below...





Heres a shot of my PIAA Ion Crystals ...



Now all I need to do is sand my lights, they are kinda pitted and scratched. When the sun goes down Ill take pics of the cut off. Boy I tell ya, these are going to be head turners.

 

What's the Kelvin rating again?


Or lack thereof.

 

30,000. No thats not a typo. If you want some I can get you a really nice reliable kit for you, for around 315.00 shipped. They are McCulloch

Edit: I can also get D2S D2R ones too...

 

definitely not my style, but props for installing them...i like all my lights to match:



not to mention the fact that i like my headlights to actually produce lights....although you live in peoria, and they have street lights everywhere except for out by the lake...

 

30k? Wtf...how is that possible. Those are 7K-8K at most. 15k is already black light. Uhhh...

 

... 30k ...

Got any "in car shots of the road"

 

30,000K? Holy crap! I didn't know they went that high.

 

Light output is probably next to non-existent ......

 

Nightime shots are your only salvation here, dude...

IBTtotalbuttrapeage

 

maybe hes talking bout hours...30000 hours sounds likely...LMAO...to bad ive never heard of it...lol....now thats an a%*hole i slam on brakes for...

 

Dont worry, Ill have night shots....

To the skeptics on the light output, My friend has the EXACT same lights on his 97 M3 and the light output is phenomenal. The viewing distance is 100x better than Halogen. Check back for night shots.

Heres a pal of mine who sells HID kits...Look for the 30 K ones

http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQf...Q5fPcNQ5fQ5fSI

BTW he sells 3000K Super Yellow HID's too...

 

, on this being actual light output, man...

 

I seriously doubt a 30k bulb will yield PHENOMENAL output.



30,000k


5,000k
Look how weak the beam pattern is compared to a 5000k

My question, why go so high on the kelvin scale?

 

 

I have a 5,000K HID kit, no thanks. Also your night shots are going to prove the lack of cutoff. No offense. Also, you must realize, that higher the Kelvin rating, the more color and essentially the less light output. If 30,000K exists, which I doubt it does, it would have less output than stock halogens.

Oh and...

 

LMAO....IBTtotalbuttrapeage w/nolube...

 

The real question is....will these lights be able to successfully blow up a whale?

30000k Sounds like a scam of a kit. You got ripped off.

 

Regaurdless of the K rating I think they look good and so do all of my buddies. I only posted this because I tought I was going to get constructive and positive comments. Shame on me.

 

You get BACK in your OT cage!

IBdalockdown

 

w/ 30,000k of whale exploding heat? yes.

 

But I thought the K was for the colour rating?

 

purple is madd hawt, y0.

 

Too bad when you're driving at night it's all like

 

lol, nice pic. I guess We will see tonight then...

 

Looks like 12,000K to me

http://www.hidking.com/d2bulbs.htm

 

they are probably 8000k


How much did you pay? a friend of mine sells the kits for $230 shipped or something like that, dirt fricken cheap compared to a few years ago and they are decent quality too



regardless, I still <3 HID's, not so much with reflectors but oh well.

 

"huge pieces of whale blubber fell everywhere" hahahaha

 

I think they would be about as useful as a black light

 

Kelvin is color not heat. yup yup with that much heat....you'lll melt everything insight

 

nO, iT'z 30,000, y0!!!

It's like my CAI, I added a GT-R emblem, +40hP @ teh wheelies

...or my system. I hit 140dB, but then I added an Alpine Type-R sticker to my bumper and I hat 154dB

So when I say, Mculugh, it's 30K-squared.

 

Thanks, I did not know that.

 

There's no way thase are actually 30,000K lights. The bulbs are too small to fit that many Ks inside them.

 

30k is the number he pulled out of the same place as the brand he used.. aka :BS: x infinity.

 

they look like 8000K whitish blue at most. ive seen something thats brighter than all our HIDs and thats the sun....

 

I didnt pull it out of my ***. If you took a god damn second to look at the link I posted...

 

We're attacking your source more or less. It is not legitimate.

 

What sources do you have to go by?

Were to bulbs delveloped through an iso-9001 procedure with NIST certified standards in which said 30,000K bulbs were matched against using approved protocol?

No.

All you have to go on is the manufacurer's claim.

You should check out this really cool mod called the turbonator next

 

Whatever...This guy is legitimate. Hes, more importantly NEVER got a negative feedback rating. Call BS all you want...

EDIT: And yes the bulbs have an "Developed to conform with ISO9001 standards on them"
