HAHAHAHAHA.........ROFLMAO
Yeah....who needs all that saftey equipment.....it just adds unneeded weight to the car.........Why see at night? we could easily evolve into a nocturnal vision species....right?
And I find it much easier to just swerve around someone rather than stop!
This thread is toooooo funny....
Bottom line....I think the opinion is stick with the friggin 6000 temp

If you're going to go blue, go all the way. 30000K baby!

In reality though, most bulbs above 8000K are just various shades of blue or purple. The manufacturing specs on those bulbs are not consistent.

well i say honda civics because i remember this one guy at HIDplanet that was at the line with a civic and he had 10000K bulbs. The civic tried to race and pulled off but because he couldn't see anything ahead of him, he had to wait for the guy that he was trying to race to pull up next to him to use his headlights to see in front of him.
That story cracked me up and so i generalized. but i do understand that there are many, many superior retrofits on hondas, acuras, any imports. but still, i do think it's a good "generalization" that people out there put on the high 'K' output for coolness when they may very well be crashing into something that's oncoming purple in color =/

With my TP Thunder, it put out more brightness than another other cars with HID that I have sat in. And what's wrong with ppl choosing what color they want to be, you don't have to be an **** about that.

My knowledge may not be better than those ppl, but I know for sure that I didn't state that my 10000k is brightest. You should re-read my post b4 flaming on me buddy.

Base on FACTS, I do agree that lower color temp output more brightness and also base on FACTs two of my other friends using 6000k (shiiiiety brand) on their Audis S4 and can't barely see the shiiiiets on road at night. They end up up using better brand with 8000k color (loving them) and of course more visibility than mine.
