Wondering why so many un-friendly ppl in this G forum. Just sitting there waiting to flame on others when they just asking for help.
hes not being un-friendly. you were just being retarded

No way it can be brighter. Measuring with your eyes is deceptive, people see blue and think its brighter because of the constrast but it isn't. The correct way to measure light output is with a light meter which will give you output in lumens, and its already a FACT that ALL 10000k bulbs put out significantly less lumens than even a 6000k bulb, given that the ballasts and voltages applied are the same
correct. higher temp bulbs may SEEM brighter but they do NOT emit more light.

OMG! this thread has totally got off of topic! where are the HUMAN PEOPLE!!?!?! lmao. well anywho the dude that question about how the 06... if dipping (like maxima) have that flickering effect??? well thats a good question!! i would like to know. but i notice mine have that effect but a very slight one.

back me up fellas!

where are all the ***** fu*ing pictures?!?!?

the 06's have somewhat of a flicker effect, as it is projector, but since there is not much color at the cut off (partly due to the fresnel lens), it will not give you the cool blue flicker that you typically see in TL's, TSX's, S2000's, E55's, E46's, etc. IvoryGT put together a good DIY on how you get some good color out of the 06 projectors: https://g35driver.com/forums/body-interior-exterior-lighting-diy/135921-diy-2006-projector-cutoff-color-mod.html

6000k for sure. For a pre-06 i'd say 8000k. the projectors in the 06 light concentrate the light a lot so 8000k looks a bit too blue/purple. 6000k looks perfect!

ACTUALLY.....higher kelvin equals more light. HOWEVER, your eyes can only see a set range of light spectrum. So unless you are an alien, you can only see in the range of the visible light spectrum, so anything above the 4100K spectrum, you can't really see any more light with your human eyes, and just notice difference in colors.

I asked about the flicker colors because thinking of DIY my 04 head lights with my crashed R1 projectors (which giving a nice cut off with nice color change like those cars you listed above). And if the new projectors on the new G does that, i'll then just save my time with buying me new set instead.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one, kelvins are used to rate color temperature, intensity or brightness is measured in lumens, and higher kelvin bulbs put out less lumens, so the light output is less, even ignoring differences in the eye's ability to see above a certain kelvin temperature.

i'm no expert on the subject at hand, but that is exactly what i have read most commonly when i was doing some quick research on the topic.

Lumen is measured for the visible spectrum which is visible to the human eyes. If our eyes were different it will perceive colors differently and perhaps at 8000K we will see better rather than 3000K. But I don't disagree with you what those ratings are meant for.

i suggest reading up about luminosity function and visible spectrum. Both of which are functions of the ability of the human eye. As in they will both be different values if our eyes were to be able to perceive past the current average of 400nm to 700nm.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_spectrum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminosity_function

PS. I should rephrase when I said more kelvin equals more light, that is wrong on the bases of scales, technically if you are an insect you perceive infrared the best, and it has no color temperature in human perception means. There is however a correlation between kelvin and light that our eyes can't perceive and can't be ignored for the sake of argument.

"An ideal thermal radiator produces visible light most efficiently at temperatures around 6300 Celsius (6600 Kelvin or 11,500 degrees Fahrenheit). Even at this high temperature, a lot of the radiation is either infrared or ultraviolet, and the theoretical luminous efficiency is 95 lumens per watt.
Of course, nothing known to any humans is solid and usable as a light bulb filament at temperatures anywhere close to this. The surface of the sun is not quite that hot."
