purple fog FTW!!!!!!!


Damn H4xORz!!!!!!!!11!!!!11111111111111!!!!!

 

Imagine the first colorband to be how you perceive the color during the night (or indoors) where "white" appears to be ~3200K, and the second to be how you perceive it during the day (or outdoors) where "white" appears closer to 5500K. (obviously the first one will be more relevant to a car's light...)

 

ya morpheus, i agree with ur ratings !

 

Nice work morpheus...finally another sane person.lol..10-12k VIP and you'll be OK

 

Does the 4th gen need a mini-H3 bulb? If not, there a re plenty of HID kits in regular H3 and 12,000K

 

I have only seen 12000k on riced out civics.


Also this may be easier for to understand:
(All information was taken from HIDPLANET.COM)
1500 k Candlelight
2700-2900 k Yellow painted fog halogen bulbs
-------------------------------
Yellowish white:
3200 k Sunrise/sunset
3200 k Premium H7 non painted halogen bulb
3400 k 1 hour from dusk/dawn
-------------------------------
White:
4100 k Philips/Osram OEM HID D2S
5500 k Bright sunny daylight around noon
----------------
Blueish white
5500-5600 k Electronic photo flash
6000 k Philips Ultinon HID D2S
6500-7500 k Overcast sky
-----------------
Blue:
9000-12000 k Blue sky
-----------------
Purple:
28000 Northern sky
12000-30000 k Ultra Violet light (black light)




I dunno, but these photos seem pretty dark to me.

Now real light output and a little PURPLE.


Both pictures used 4300k bulbs

 

I like that 4300k . One day, One day. For right now its out of my budget.

 

We're talking about stock fog lights here. You're not going to get projector like output with foglights, and no matter what Kelvin rating you put in them, they're not going to do much except look nice when you turn them on.

Purple fogs ain't my style either (hell, purple anything), but that doesn't mean I gotta go around trying to convert everyone to 4300K. Most people already know that the higher the Kelvin scale, the less output you get.

P.S. nice paintjob, ya f*cker.

 

Karim, or should we say Phil Collins , has it right.

A lot of "experts" on this thread all of a sudden.

Morpheus, before you proclaim yourself the Google-expert that everyone thinks you to be, have you ever sold an HID kit? Have you installed more than 1000 of them? Have you experience with 30 different HID kits?

Until you do, don't make yourself look Google-smart . And don't ever make dumb assertions about us. We all like money, but unlike you, I don't like to mislead my customers and want nothing but the best for them.

 

I was just trying to point out the light output.

Paint job? What are you talking about? My mirrors ?

D2S > D2R

 

Nah I know, and I agree with you, but you aren't going to get any noticeable output from stock fogs, no matter what you put in them short of a nuclear bomb. They're just aesthetically pleasing. And yeah, projectors pwn, but that's old news. =P

I do use Google. I like Google. Google allows you to get information from people who aren't trying to sell you their product. You've got to admit that if you don't sell anything above 6000K, someone asks you what would be nice and PURPLE and you say 6000K will do the trick, you're misinforming them for the purpose of snagging another sale. You could say maybe "6000K is the closest to purple that we have" and you'd be helping out, but in this circumstance the assertion I made was entirely rational. If you went to a Subaru dealership, asked for something that could solidly outrun an Enzo without modifications and the salesperson said "oh then you want our WRX STi," you'd have to agree then that they'd be misinforming you for the cause of commission, right? Sure, an STi is fast, but it just will NOT outrun an Enzo, unless you're taking it to a rally.

Oh yeah... I don't HAVE any customers. I'm not in SALES. So it would be pretty much impossible to mislead them now, wouldn't it?

I really don't care who buys from you. And honestly, I would buy from you before I got one of the "Helios" kits. But you misinformed someone and I set it straight, it really doesn't go any further than that. If you're angry that I can use Google to explain what you failed to (okay, I wasn't exactly uninformed on the subject beforehand) then maybe you should take up an argument with Google on why they should be less informative.

Have a good day, sir, and enjoy your bimmer. I'd have one if I could afford it.

 

Bimmers are surprisingly inexpensive. You can pick up a 98 M3 for 14-18K.
I would have bought a
Only they didn't make an independent suspension when I was looking.

 

so 6k or 12 ???

 

In regards to the picture:
In groups of 2 horizontally:

3000K, 4300K
5000K, 6000K -- BLUE!
8000K, 8000K
10000K, either 3000K or 4300K

But then again, the white balance of the camera could be way off, and I think you posted this with respective color temps somewhere around here as well, meaning I could potentially "cheat." And on top of all that, I don't see where this is relevant.

The Subaru thing has absolute relevance--a customer asks for something of a certain specification and they are presented with something of much lesser specification. Though it may be as close to the specification that they asked for, it won't do the job.

I neither intend to or enjoy misleading people, and I haven't.

Personally I would rather use Google to look up a few reputable scientific websites than take a vendor's word for it... and there are many many ways to fry a frog.

I know how low the market price for E36s is, and while it's tempting, there's also the potential upkeep and the insurance. I got pretty lucky finding a Max in as good condition as I did. Wish I could do away with The Beam though.

 

Look if you want pure purple get any kit that like 12K and up.

 

I thought this got rid of the guessing???

 

i guess not.........

 

Hahahah, just get 12K or so, you should be fine. If 6000K is at all purple, it's going to be something barely noticeable. You want something really purple, right? Doubt you want your fogs to be whiter than your headlights.

Oh, and sorry about the jackage. =(

 

10-12k it is !

 

12k? why bother with HID if you just want purple and now light output
mad cheap at only $15.99 y0!!

 

Think the idea here is that it's still brighter than halogen... Purple tinted halogen fogs with a 6000K HID kit would look really dim/cheap/ghetto.

 

12000k will barely be brighter than halogen. Not worth the 200-300 bucks.

 

why not just get halogens then?

 

Don't be a moron, if one were to get a 12000k HID kit and a bulb that was similarly tinted, the HID would be significantly brighter. Why are you comparing a 12000K HID to a stock halogen bulb when he said in the thread TITLE that he wants purple fogs?

 

In terms of lumens, 12000K is still 2x brighter than halogen, so Morpheus is right on this one.

 

What gives you the right to use that word to someone else when you don't even know what you're talking about?

Do you know what the variables would be to make a halogen bulb act just like the 12K HID kit?

Morpheus, you know very little, stop trying to show it off.

 

Wrong.

Depending on the Halogen bulb (H1 produce 1500 lumens) a 12000K is only about 1600 lumens.

If we overdrive an H7, H1 to 80W, then it will be 1800 lumens.

 

But Maxima fogs are 35W H3 from the factory, regardless, 12,000K HID IS brighter than that halogen bulb agreed?

 

i believe 4th gen's run 55 watt h3

 

Oh....

 

Knowledge > you

Also let me take a look at the title again... it says "Purple Fogs: Post Pics !!!" And yes he wants purple HIDs, but I am trying to tell him it is a waste of money.
I am glad someone knows what they are talking about, rather just making a guess.

Slightly brighter. But is it worth the extra 200 dollars for slightly brighter PURPLE HIDs.

 

From a lumen to dollar ratio, it isn't worth the money, but then again, so is half the stupid mods I see people putting on their cars around here, so it boils down to preference I guess.

 

And 8000k, 10000k, and 12000k HID bulbs DONT look dim/cheap/ghetto?

 

just to throw this out there, if your not set on HID's, www.luminicsbulbs.com does have some violet colored bulbs. I had terrible customer service and most people had a bad experience so i am not recommending them but there is an option. Also, are you looking for a purple beam, or just a purple colored housing light? Cause if you were to take white halogen bulbs and add soem purple LED's to the housing, if might create a purple effect in the housing but there wouldn't be a purple beam on the road. It might not work but I thought i've seen it before.

 

im lookin for purple beam. i already tried the luminics. they are a POS, they blew within a month and looked nothing near purple. was straight stock-ish color

 

i was looking to get 8000 k i think would be nice

 

a quick preview of whats about to come soon



now yall know why i want purple fogs

 

That would look pretty sick
