Re: HID bulbs-purple/blue/white-10k degrees
the higher temperature rating you go, the less visibility you actualli get.. wouldn't realli recommend you getting anything higher than 6000K.. i've had three different sets of aftermarket HID systems in my last car, and the 5200K had the most output compared to (6000K, 7500K)..

Re: HID bulbs-purple/blue/white-10k degrees
I think 10,000K is overkill, it’s so purplish that it would be really annoying driving at night not to mention the bright purple glare to oncoming drivers.

Where can I get purple HID replacement bulbs that can work properly with our current system?

At the website I posted, why do you think I posted it? Look near the bottom of the page where it says replacement bulbs, $125 each.

Re: HID bulbs-purple/blue/white-10k degrees
Whoever has aftermarket 6000K, 8000K, etc. Xenon bulbs...how is the light output?? Does it increase illumination or does it just change the color? I have heard that when you go over 4300K for Xenon bulbs, it actually works against you because we actually cannot see the brighter effects it has or whatever.

Philips makes the best HID capsules but they don't make one at 8000K.

Re: HID bulbs-purple/blue/white-10k degrees
Agreed, the higher the Kelvin rating (more blue/purple color) the less Lumens (light output) there is for night driving. I'm thinkin the same that around 4500-6000k seems to be the optimal. Higher than that an all your getting is Super Purple ricey color, with less usable light, (My opinion). Peace

Re: HID bulbs-purple/blue/white-10k degrees
Anybody running 6000K Xenons and are happy with them? If somebody with 6000K Xenons sees an improvement in illumination for night-time driving, I am interested in getting them. Either that, or the CATZ ZETA system for my fog lights.
