OK first of all, I did a little search and I couldn't find a thread on this topic. Most were "How to DIY HID" or "Phillips Ultinon 6000K", but none of them actually talks about how how the colors look , and how they like it.

If someone can find me a thread like that, I'll delete this one.


So, I got my 6000K HID yesterday along with the LED running lights. IMO, they look beautiful, but the HID seems a bit blue to me. I cannot tell if it's blue if I look at the light directly, but when I drive around at night with the low beam on, I can clearly see the blue lights.

Well, I'm not saying that it's a bad thing, but I'm just concerned that the cops might hustle me.

So, what are your opinions? Experiences so far? and would you go back to stock 4300K because it's too blue to you?

 

Cops aren't going to bother your for your lights.

You're barely blue lights are the least of their worries. Even if the only thing they were worried about were lights, you still wouldn't be of concern to them. Your lights aren't even that blue. There are thousands of other people with after market HID kits running around blinding people with their glare. Bimmer lights are more blue/purple than what you've got.

If you're worried about cops bothering you for some 6000k light bulbs, then you've got too much time on your hands.

 

BS can you post some pics? I don't have them...but I'm interested in the topic too.

BTW...loving your new avatar.

 

^^^pics won't do much as they are, more often than not, deceiving as far as color output is concerned.

 

It doesn't look blue at all when you stand in front of the car, but when you actually drive around, it looks kinda blue.

 

"kinda" blue?

you're kidding, right?

if anything, you should be more worried about your loud exhaust and high flow cats. hell, you have a better chance of getting pulled over for your tint than your lights.

 

don't worry about the lights alan. Relax and get some coffee!

 

hahaha... i'm not worried at all. I just wanted to hear some opinions.

 

Apparently, you are a little worried.

 

haha... well... maybe a little bit. lol

 

i have 10k in my 03 coupe and ive never been hassled for it.

 

8000k FTW
Mtec's all the way..best HID deal ever!

 

I had the 6000K's on my other car.. i always loved the bluish color but on long trips it puts strain on my eyes so i switched back to 4300K and it was like night and day...

 

Calvin got it right on the money.



I never got hassled for the Ultinons on the G.

 

How about something like 5000k?

Not as blue, but still bluer than stock.

IMO 4300 is FTW... brightest
