What are the most obnoxious hids?

[MOBmentality]

I have 30,000k in the fogs (pink) and 12,000k in the highs and lows (purple)

to keep the tone of the truck... but im thinking i wanna do a set of 55w laser like beams in my highs that i can aim with the air ride and fry retina...

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Nastiest hids iiiiissssssssssss?



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)

aircraft landing lights ftw

or on a budget, buy some kind of headlight or round foglight - with the back part being very reflective of course - drill out holes for hid bulbs, and put about 6 of them in a circle, all within the same housing

might melt it though lol

lol i just meant what kelvin do you think tosses the most light furthest..

its a trade off.. 30k is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bright to look at but not so great for distance..

i was thinking 8000s? 6000s?

The distance would be better with 6k than 8k. It has something to do with the lumens or something like that.

 

[danimalmax]

well 4100k is what i have in my x2020s, i think the tradeoff starts getting more significant once you go above 5000k

NJ04HOE, how do your 4500k's look?

Exactly what I was looking for bright white light. I've had 6k and 5k in the past but i'm not a fan of the blueish color anymore.

4300k is the brightest (throws the farthest) and is what most automakers put in their stock HID systems. Thats what I use and its great.

 

[danimalmax]

ive been wanting to make my headlights and fogs match, i have 4100, i think, for the headlamps, and 5000k for the fogs,

the 4100 have a hint of yellow and the 5000 a hint of blue, maybe i'll try your 4500s

 

[denalianyone]

I have 8000k in the fogs and low beams. 6000k will be better and put out sufficient light.

Most obnoxious? Anything RT owns would be my guess.

Do you have pics of the x2020's on your truck? i saw them and i'm wondering what they look like compared to stock lights. Also, what does FTW mean?

I got a vid on my camera of the HIDS in action. They are 55W in the lows and fogs and HIRs in the highs. They are sooooo piss your pants bright its not even funny. I just gotta find the cord to plug it in. Since for some reason the vid stored on the camera and not the chip.

My CTS has 4300K bulbs and they are pretty bright. The color is a super bright ass white, no yellowish or bluish tint to them. The 6000k in my truck look white until you look at it side by side with the CTS, then you can really tell the bluish tint in the 6000K. As for output, somewhere between 4100K -4300K color temperature puts out the most lumens.

Mob, you have any pics of your HIDs in the dark?

[TREND]

In my Mazda 6 I have 55w 4300k bulbs and they are pure white. In my Denali I went with 35w 5000k and they are also pretty white but with a hint of blue. They are also blinding if you look right into them from close.

 

[road1will]

I think I may switch to some 55 watt 4300s
