PS ... 30,000k... if you look at them unsheilded in daylight with sunglasses on ... will blind you for a solid minute. (they just dont shoot far)

Any HIDs will blind you for a solid minute bro. 30K K is just the color, not the brightness. If anything, those 30K K HIDs will blind you less than most on the market. The higher the Kelvin rating, the more color you get but the less the output is.

If you want to blind the living shit out of someone, get the 4300K 55W bulbs from DDM. Pure white (no pink, sorry), but they put out a ton of light.

the only problem is that ddm doesnt seem to have 4300, only 4500

on a side note, any idea what the wattages would be in my x2020s? if they are 35, i wonder if i can swap them out for ddm 55s?

Really? They must have changed it recently, I could have sworn I saw a 4300K kit there a couple months ago when I was looking. Oh well, 4500K is pretty close to the same thing...there isn't much discernable difference between 4300 and 4500K.

I think I may switch to some 55 watt 4300s

If you do 55W get 5000k. The 4300k look way to yellow. Not halagon yellow. almost 3000k yellow. The color washout is to blame there. 5000k looks like 4300k. So use this scale with 55w, get the color temp higher than the color you want. 10000k looks like 8, 8 looks like 6, 6 looks like 5, and so on.

yes and yes, but I would highly reccommend making your own wiring harness then. But I dont think DDM makes 55W d1r bulbs. I would have to check.

No offense but those are dim compared to 4300k or 5000k.

not taking offence..(and obviously with my cam phone especially i cant get directly in the primary area)

we bought based purely on color.. but wanna do some usable highs... the pinks out of the housings looked SOOOOOOOO much brighter than the 8ks they had at the shop (when you looked at them and the intensity of light reflected back in their immediate vicinity) but seemed to almost cut off and get really dull at like 25-30 feet.

after all this im thinking 55w 6000s for highs.. for the nicest color and throw.
