Re: I wanna do a HID upgrade

www.HIDExpress.com I personally was looking at the D2R 8000K on the site, kind of pricey though... also check out www.plasmagarage.com
Not really sure about legalitys of them, I'm sure they're DOT approved. When you do change remember to get D2R(reflective) and not D2S(projection) the D2S will be very bright to on coming traffic from what I understand.

I'm not too sure about 6000k being illegal, but I believe the best ones you can get are Ultinons made by Philips. The cheapest I've seen them are at suvlights.com for $280.

6000K are going to look purple. If you want blue, then you would have to go with a higher temperature bulb.

Re: I wanna do a HID upgrade

I have a pair of the "Xetronic" 6000K bulbs in my car. They look awesome!! Not purple at all, bluer than before with a very very little hint of green. I also have a pair of the "Xetronic" 8000K bulbs which are a much deeper blue, NOT purple at all. But it was too blue for me and I started loosing light intesity, so I put the 6000's back in.

I dunno where you live, but cops will definately pull you over and hassle you for blue HID's. Here in California, they've been cracking down on "Super White" halogen bulbs for years. Most ricers don't have them anymore, but the few that do get tickets for having "blue headlights" all the time. Some folks with stock HID's have been pulled over and cited for having "blue headlights".

6000K and any other higher color temperature HID bulbs are 100% illegal. Only the stock HID bulbs are legal for street use in the US. So it's up to you to take the risk.

Re: I wanna do a HID upgrade

this guy saids it right. higher color temperature u go, less light output, but with a bluer/purpler colour.

I say the best option is go to for 6000K bulbs. u get the best of both worlds... not too purpl/blue and not losing so much light output

Re: I wanna do a HID upgrade

Moog What is your source everyone will tell you that 6000k is blue 10,000K is purple sometime's 6000k look blue if they are in a Projector housing like and an audi for example look purple just at certain angles though but it's not the actual color.
