thats exactly wut im after right now. purple h3 hid

thanks !!

 

anymore ???????

 

mike u getting the prolumen kit yet?

 

ya i want to !

 

i thought you were done with aftermarket ricer bulbs?

 

im buying HIDs not ricer bulbs. Only reason i posted this thread was to find out what gawd damn kelvin rating produces purple light. some companies say 12k, some say 14 and some say 6k. im confused !!

ricefob, u got the 6k prolumen, right? u happen to know what kelvin is purple for H3? SUPPOSEDLY 6k is PURPLE, but i see BLUISH white in ur pics. geezes

 

i just ordered a set of the HID fogs from Matt at Umnitza. Last i heard from MaximaPolak was that the older ones that they sold through umnitza were more purple and the new ones they have for sale are more blue. ill post pics when i install them but it wont be until the end of march.

VIP 12k and up is purple...not 6k

 

umnitza told me 6k. i think it depends on the brand, thats why im so confused

 

Any brand 8,000K is pretty much guaranteed purple.

 

OK 3000k is yellow...4300k is pure white...6000k hint of blue...8000k more blue....9000k starts turning purple and 1200k is straight up purple...temperatures may vary a bit with different brands i guess but shouldnt be much different..I'm not an HID whiz or anything but this is what i know to my understanding of kelvin ratings.

8k is a deep blue from what i've noticed. If you want purple, taht's about 10k

 

Deep blue...violet...change the angle of view a little....same sh*t no?

 

My 7000k's were pretty purple?

 

8k's should be purple enough..

 

dam this is why i havent purchased yet. everyone gives a different rating. some as low as 6k which is suppose to be pure WHITE !

 

6k isn't definitly isn't pure white. 4100-4300 is pure white. 6k has a little bit of a blue tint.

 

are your headlights also going to be purple HID?

 

so you're going purely for Form and absolutely no Function?

 

I have 8K HIDs in my fogs and they are purple, but in some pictures they would be purple and some pics they'd be green

but if you go 10K or 12K, they will definitely be purple......i think that would be hot in your fogs

is your max a 98 or 99? because that makes a world of difference fitting HIDs in the fogs

 

Look on my cardomain page. Im too lazy to link

 

Purple fogs... FTG

 

4300k is most certainly NOT pure white. It still has a lot of yellow to it. 5000k is about as white as you can get without any noticeable blue OR yellow. 6000k is blue-ish white. 7000k is blue. 8000k is blue-ish purple. 10k is purple with a bit of blue. 12k is purple. And anything that is above that is black light.

 

i sent ya a PM, please answer it. i coudlnt tell if u had purple fogs or headlights but whichever it is, what brand and what kelvin is it?

no, im gettin 6-7k headlights !

98..... can you post a few pics

 

oh, so this will literally be strictly a "daily" driver

my 4300 show absolutely no hint of yellow
Pure white with blue tint from low-beam cutoff oem FTW

 

I don't have a spec of yellow in my bulbs.....

 

OK UM yall tell me what color this is










OK good.....now look at the ground in front of my car, you'll see the 2 different colors of beam pattern persay

 

what brand u had bijan?

 

But is it clear white? No. Which means it has yellow in it. At the end of the day 4300k and 5000k are the best performing bulbs. The lower the kelvin, the further the beam pattern. This is why I'd never buy an 8000k semi-purple bulb.

 

looks like "lavender" to me.

 

Hanabi 7000k

 

Seen a few riced out civics with purple headlights, and fogs. Sh!tty pruple was barely hitting the ground. 7000k+ FTL

And I will also confirm my philips 6000k are NOT purple.

 

are you going to drink purple sprite too?

 

I know youre not comparing a Max to a Civic....
You can call it sh!tty if you want, maybe in the Civic......

Mine used to be perfect. Yea some glare towards oncoming drivers, but light output color in dry and rain were magnificent.

 

purple drank > purple sprite

 

That's because Umnitza doesn't sell anything over 6k, and Umnitza likes money.

4300K still has a bit of yellow to it (but you don't notice it), it's not necessarily pure white but it's the optimum kelvin rating for output (lumens). daylight around noon is ~5500K. 6000K is just a bit blue. 8K is deep blue and I'd say anything beyond 10-12K is fine if you want purple.

Google "kelvin light temperature." All lights will look bluer/less yellow during the night than during the day, because our eyes' "white balance" are adjusted differently.

 

I dont really understand the 2nd chart yet...
