Are HID bulbs supposed to change color at all over time? I just bought some new Oracle 8000k bulbs, which according to the website should be more blue compared ot the 6000k that I had previously. However after install and warm up I noticed that they are more of a greenish/blue hue something closer to their 10,000k bulb but not quite that extreme. heres their color chart of the website:


I just ask because I don't want to contact them about the color if its just a break-in issue. Thanks in advance fellas. heres what I'm talking about, 6000k bulb on the left, New 8000k bulb on the right:


Here the 6000k is on the right, new 8000k on the left:

 

Should of stuck with 6000k or lower...

8000k output is going to suck.

Well to tell you the truth, these Oracle 8000k bulbs are super bright! just as bright as the Mcculloch 6000k bulbs, no lie. Oracle claims to have 30% more lumens than other brands, and after seeing them in person I believe them. Anyways, I also have 3000k foglights that are super intense, so much so, that they actually drown out the color of the headlights on the road lol

 

youre not gonna see a lot of blue til you get to 10-12k. 15K being the bluest before you begin seeing hues of purple (ghey). 6-8 are really comparable. you can see a slight difference in your pic. i wouldnt expect to see much more difference than that. mine are 10K (sig)

btw, youre gonna get seriously harassed about your yellow font. not being a jerk or anything, just watchin out for a new guy.

 

Well I've had the fogs since last august, and haven't had any problems yet Knock on wood. I did take the time to properly aim them, so maybe that is helping cut down the glare a bit. Let me tell you though, they are crazy at cutting through fog, its almost like there is none

 

He said YELLOW FONT.

 

LMFAO!! Fail. I thought he mistyped. oh well, Ive had yellow font for the past year as well I haven't taken the time to properly aim the font tho, so I may eventually get some **** for it.

 

Where the heck are my aviator shades when I need them? Maybe if I close the drapes? (J/K)

 

I can't read that yellow crap and I refuse to highlight it so I can read it.

 

Did you change your backround from grey/black to white? Too bright if you ask me.

 

You're trying to impress people with the yellow font. Fail.

We would like to know about the HID lights. But why bother?

 

lmao, im not trying to impress anyone, U fail. If others can use blue and red and other colors, why can't I use yellow. Its actually easier to read than blue or red. WTF?! how did this post become about my font, if you're not here to talk about the original post GTFO!

 

You should consider that your yellow text is rendered by different browsers. Many people cannot read what you write because they cannot see it. What you see is not what we see.

This the reason why this thread has been about your font color. You may use any font color you want. But if you want to communicate and not have the reader draw inferences from a funky font color, stick to what works.

 

Why don't you guys use the stock 4300K and do some sort of color mod in the projectors? That way you get the color you nancies want while keeping the best (that is stock) output instead of buying cheap, aftermarket, colored bulbs that make you like a try-hard.

 

Well then I retract my previous statement, I thought the backround colors and such were the same on all screens (granted its not an apple computer from 1980)

 

30k ftw

 

Your 30000k look badass, but they would only last half a day here in So Cal before I get popped

 

a bit too much

 

Are they 35 or 55 watt, because you will need to go at least 12000 Kelvin to see blue with 55 watt HID bulbs

 

get off him about the font, dont come to someones elses thread and hate on them :matt93se:

Back to the topic..... I approve of the 8k lights

 

I have stock HID's and love em so much. I wonder what Kelvin temp stock xenon bulbs are.

 

Stock are 4200 K 35 watt

 

I'm sorry for the Off-topic question but your picture is a perfect example. I wanted to know why our cars create those little rectangular boxes of light above the straight cut-off. I have factory HID and it seems like its an aftermarket one with that. Acura, BMW, etc that I see have a straight clean cut-off. I know someone on here is a HID expert and can let me know.

 

it's probably a reflector shield inside the projector....IF, nissan uses the same headlight housings for the non-hid lights, then that's why the factory HID lights have that glare. halogen projectors normally have a reflector in there.....

 

Im pretty positive thats what it is. My TL's create a small dome above the cutoff line, but when you put them on high beam the dome "turns on"

 

i have 10K light blue on headlights and fogs.. love em.

 

 

10,000K = zero visibility at night. Might look cool, but for folks like me who live in suburbia, 6000K is as high as you wanna go before you start losing lumen output. Deer and Mr. Fox aren't too forgiving...
