Just wondering whats everyones favorite color temp for HIDs? PIX??? I currently have 7000k hanabi which gives off a slight purple tint which looks good to me but my drivers side is flickering slightly when I drive over bumps and might go out sometime and was wondering what temp I should get when its time to get new bulbs.

 

My favorite temp is 6000K. It's pure white with a tiny hint of blueish green.
Plus it actually puts out alot of usable light on the road.

 

4100k - 4300k

Nothing beats a pure white beam w/ blueish cut off line

 

6000.............................

 

I got the old hanabi 8600K and it was never a dark color, its always been a bright white with a hint of purple. Kinda like a cold florescent bulb.

 

7000.......

 

Stock, 4300k.

 

My favorite color is between 5000k-6000k But it depends on the manufacture cause the color differs from company to company.

 

14000k I actually have 10000K looks pretty cool and bright .

 

Here's 12K HID's on my cousins TRD Toyota Celica. Man they're so purple when you see them forreal. He was pulled over once or more for those. He got away with it, by saying that he got the car imported from Japan so that's how it is, and they believed him and let him go. Here's some pics...sorry they're kinda small cause of cardomain.

 

Cause all the chickies at drive thrus allways are giving me comments on how Beautiful my lights look.....LOL


Got 4500k in the high beams too....but they don't look half as KOOL....next come the fogs going to match them with the 6000 mains...

 

i have 10000K purple, a lot of light dont care if its usable or not.

 

showoff!


... 4100k-4300k

 

Ive got 6000k top and bottom and love it. Plenty of light and awesome color

 

that aint my car

 

+1. The highest I would go is 4700k!

 

stock HID's in headlamps
3000K lexus style yellow in fogs, provide a beatiful contrast to the factory HID's.

4100k...

if your hid is flickering, it could be your ballast not the HID capsule. I had this problem back when i was using the Hanabi ballasts and starters.

 

or it may be that the bulb is not secure. i had this problem after i retrofitted my fogs. i thought it was the lamps shaking, turns out it was the bulbs. the pin that holds them down wasn't on securely, everytime i hit a bump the beams would "jiggle".

 

my bulb is flickering in my fogs too. But ive switched everything from side to side to find the problem. No matter which side the ballasts are on the drivers side bulb flickers like a mo fo

 

Thanks for the replies and pix guys. I belive that its my capsule causing the shaking because I can go in front of the car when the HIDs are on and I can hit the top of the headlight and it will shake as I hit it so something must be loose.

 

i have 8000k heads and fogs, if i did it again id do 6000-7000s, 8000k is just too blue for me.

 

is there a way to adjust the stock ones? or all of them factory preset.. (obviously I don't know anything about them than that they are awesome looking and produce great light! and cost alot too- lol)

 

yeah i had 8000k and didn't like the way they looked. they made the factory lights look the same color as halogen lights, so i switched to 3000k.

 

I couldn't go any higher than 6000k


atfirst it's kind of hard to adjust to them, but once you do I dont think you can beat them

 

i agree highly.....
