Need help with HID bulbs
#19
Agree 100%. I bought 6K and they are a tad more blue than I would like, but still well within the relm of good light output vs color temp. I would never recomend anything above 6k.

Well, I installed my 6k bulbs before the weekend....few days of driving on them.
My impression? Don't really like them.
I mean they look cool and all, have a slight tinge of blue and look bright.... But they are DIM. I don't mean actual light output, but as in my ability to see. My first impression was "are my headlights even on?"
I'll give it a few more days, but I might order a 5k kit and see how that looks.
Appearance is one thing....but if I can't see what's the point?

Exactly. They are bright and light everything up, signs down the road light up bright and everything and my driveway looks like a sports stadium....
But, i've lost a lot of detail due to the color. Driving down a road i always drive down that has a raised mahole i always avoid...well, now it's a bit tougher to spot. They are bright, but details are harder to make out. I pulled next to a g35 with stock hids and noticed that it's color made things far more visible directly in front of it, vs with my "cooler looking" lights.
I knew this would happen, but didn't think it would be this noticeable. Gonna order 5k today sand give that a shot.

Hey could you please send me the link for where you bought your bulbs from?
I just got my G35, which is almost identical to yours, and I wanted to change the bulbs.
Also, what kinds of bulbs does a stock G35 come with? Will I notice a huge difference between stock and 6000K?
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
