The best thing he can do is point the headlights down til' its bareable, as when you install HID bulbs in a non-HID projector'd headlight.


And also, with HID'd fog's you need to get 3000k or lower, as thats when it shoots yellow, and this is the right color that cuts through the fog the best.

would 6000k Philips look good on 05 headlights? does it worth it or should i upgrade my headlights to projectors before upgrading the bulbs to 6000k?
My other question is with 6000k would i notice better viewing or is it just the color look blueish and i loose some light?
thank you guys.

I always get my kits/bulbs (4 cars) here. They last long, decent price, fast shipping and the bulbs luminate better than the ones my friends got from Ebay for cheaper price.

I got mine from a BMW guy, sold my cousin some replacmeent bulbs for his 330I, 40 bucks shipped.

http://www.khoalty.com/

Email him and ask for D2R bulbs, if you have an 03-05, and if you have projector'd G35 headlights you'd use the D2S's.

Both 40 bucks a pop and i love the way it looks.

The pics it looks a little blue, but it looks more like that S2000 purplish white.

Yeah, but whatever site gets more hits will be on top of the search. So if more hits to that site, that means more customers there and read reviews on customers.

You will get a blueish color and loose 25+% of your light output.

I see. So you mean when that site get more inbound link because that makes that domain an expert in search term, then it increase its Google PageRank score. With the correct keywords used in its META tag, contents, and silos. These things will also takes contribution to ranking over its comprtitors. Cool!

I don't know if you can quantify the amount of light output lost. i like 6K. I mean project alone is a great upgrade in light output as is. So IMO, '06 projectors with 6K will probably put down the same amount as OEM reflector HID. The projector just lay out the light more evenly and focused.

Of course you can if you buy from a reputable company that actually has an R&D department. OEM Phillips 85122+ d2s bulbs put out 3400lms of output. Phillips Ultinon 5800k(6k) put out 2400lms of output. Straight from then manufacturers spec sheets. 25+% loss in output, so unless these made in china generic bulbs somehow can make a product better than phillips, the largest HID manufacturer in the world, and supplier to most of the OEM's, then you ARE going to lose 25+% of your output by going to 6k.
