I have a 03 Max, factory headlights with the HIDs. I want thoses bring blue lights. Do i have to convert or all i have to do is change the bulb.

 

Ehh? Your typing to fast!

All you need to do is find a D2R 8000k color replacement bulb. You could go 10000k but that to me is way to blue. Just do a google search for D2R 8000k and D2R 10000k you should find several results.

 

You will lose much of usable light output, but if you must at least buy the bulbs from an org sponsor in the group buy section.

 

Dude, keep the stock hids

 

Too much blue =

 

or u can go with 6k whitch is more white

 

Yeah 6K is good. Its a nice whitish blue. On my '03 I made the mistake of getting 12K in the headlights and 8K in the fogs. It looks cool from the front, but they're not all that great. Visibility isn't good its just average. I wish I would have gotten 6K for both.

 

stock is good yet no higher then 6K,... but if u want 8k,.. ebay for cheap crap but u get what u pay for...

 

just get a hid kit? i'd preffer 6k-8k(max)...but thats just my $0.2

 

Anything above 6k is just stupid. 6k is already less output compared to 4300k.

S

 

my 8ks look pretty sick.

8k up top

10k down below.


but as everyone said light output sucks. but it looks hella cool...

 

so looks is more important than light output

 

8k rules imo. Looks so much better than stock and has a bit more "bling" than 6k. 6k is good too but from now on I will always go 8k. I do have to admit, however, the stock on my friend's i35 look SO much better than stock HIDs for the 5.5 gen...his even look better than my 8k currently. Maybe its the casing?

 

headlights are supposed to be bling?
i really dont understand...i always thought headlights were a safety feature so that the driver could see at night....and a headlight is good if does that well

 

and yes i know i sacrifice lighting for looks sooner. it's a choice i make. i also sacrafic performance for looks with my big rims. if i wanted the best lighting i would have stayed 'close' to stock.

bmw angel eyes mean anything to you? Those were stock and only there for the purposes of 'bling' but hey i guess bmw doens't know what they are doing. you know it's not like everyone is copying them adding lighting effect to headlights. oh snap audi, volvo, bmw all are adding bling to lights. it's the new 'style'

 

i feel that angel eyes are pointless and played out....people on here trying to look like a BMW then starting threads because they never seem to work right.

headlight mods are cool as long as they dont decrease the functionality of the headlight (cleared, blacked out, etc).

but thats just me thinking that headlights are kind of an important safety feature.

 

I'm going to have to agree with Jason (Sooner) on this one. Other drivers don't give a hoot what your stinkin headlights look like.

I would rather see farther so I could drive safer then have some stupid blue headlamps.

 

I think angel eyes are kind of cool, but the blue drives me crazy. Someone at my school has an HID'd toyota sienna, those BLUE lights blind me in the day, I would hate to run into that at night. Be considerate of other drives with headlight modifications, and the rest is up to you

 

i have 10ks and i think they're nice, yellow fogs comming soon!!

 

ive got 8k up top and 50watt 8k down the bottom........im going back to the stock HID bulbs as light output has diminished and its starting to annoy me.....besides the stock bulbs give a BETTER cut off

 

I think 3k looks best and has the brightest output, cuts through fog real nice too

 

Pics of your car?Maybe Ive seen it on the road.

 

I think 6000K would be bright enough.

 

Get some Phillips Ultinons and call it a day.

 

i just got my 10k in yesterday and installed it last night and im loving it! not too much output but it looks nice i guess i choose looks over safety.. heres some pictures if you wanna see how 10k looks in the morning..





(sorry for bad quality pics.. its from my phone)

 

I agree, I am running stock 4300k from a a6 and it is BRIGHT, I HATE seeing those fake *** projectors wanna be SOOOO blue I am hating but I wish they get pulled over. If you like the purple twinkle like the s2k, tsx, tl, bmws, go retro yourself a pair of projectors, we have a maxima not a civic!

 

8000k is da way to go

 

True, BMW, Audi ... are adding bling to their headlights BUT they do it without sacrificing the output and safety of headlights. A set of E-code BMW or Audi HID projectors with or without auto leveling motors is in a completely different league than the 5th Gen reflector HID setups. The projectors get their color from the diffraction effect of the shields inside the projectors. The light is still 4300K white, it just looks blue/purple from outside the beam at a distance.

Adding bluish HID bulbs to a reflector design my make it look more rice (not Euro), but it doesn't help with visibility. After being disappointed with a 8KK bulb replacement, I retro'd my 2k2 reflectors with TSX projectors with color and len's mods to get a nice looking and practical lighting system. Cost $400, but it was worth it to me.

 

I like 8K up top and 4300 or 5K in fogs...

 

Stock is perfect for me. I like to be able to see and I don't give a crap about "bling". I am much more into the sleeper look. Keeps cops off your back too.

 

This topic has NEVER been discussed before. Really. I'm serious. If you searched, you wouldn't find ANY threads on this subect. AMAZING!

IBTL.

 

6k top, 6k bottom hid kit, love it!!!!!!!
