Does 6000K show any blue after warmup?

Does 8000K significantly decrease brightness/visibility?

Are there any owners that have seen both in person?
If so, what are your opinions/thoughts?

Thanks, in advance, for your input.

 

i don't think my 6000k is blue at all. I was going for the whitest look i can get. Which i think i achieved.

 

Yeah...I read the DIY Thread and some other posts, as well.

Pictures are deceiving.
Thats why I'm looking for input from actual users.

 

I have 8000k and there is a hint of blue in it. And as far as I know I havent seen any decrease in brightness.

I have already gotten a warning before from a cop that have pulled me over cause of the 8000k.

 

Pulled over?
What law were you breaking by having these lights?
How can it be enforced unless they have a photometric measuring device that measures color.

Btw...thanks for your input.
I'm actually looking for a white light with a hint of blue and not a dominant baby blue.

 

I owned 3Bspecs 6000k and currently own 3Bspecs 8000k. The 6000k are white but at certain angles you can still see hints of YELLOW. The only time the 6000k's were ever blue was on warmup. They are still an upgrade over the 4300k stocks as they give you more of a true HID look but like I said its a yellow/white combination with the white being the majority.

I was looking for more of a color the TL's or the Maximas produce and I achieved that with the 8000k's. These bulbs are a thing of beauty. Extreme white with that perfect hint of blue. From different angles and different distances, they look more blue than they are.

Now as far as visibility goes, I hardly noticed any decrease when I had the 6000k's but I do notice somewhat of a decrease with the 8000's. I drive home through some pretty heavily wooded areas and with the 6000k's I never had the need to put my highs on but since Ive gotten these 8000s, I see myself putting on the highs at times during my commute home.

Overall, I am not disappointed at all going from 6000 to 8000. The visibility is still damn good and the actual look of the beam is heavenly. I dont think visibility is a HUGE issue with either of these bulbs. What you have to decide is what look your going for.

 

I didnt get pulled over sorta. I was just leaving a parking stall and hes like you know you cant have blue headlights lol. I told them there not blue it just looks it cause there really bright.

Ill see if I can take a night time picture for you.

 

You can be pulled over. Headlights aren't supposed to be colored... Same reason hyper white bulbs kinda went out way back when....

 

To me the 4300k bulbs look very white. Are 6000k bulbs similar to the color of white vleds?

 

It does look white when you don't have it next to something whiter to compare it to. Here's min after I installed the 6000k's on the driver's side. Stock on passenger side:

 

OP: yes, and yes. anyone who says 6000k doesn't look at least somewhat blue is a tad colorblind or bought rebadged 5300k's. 8000k's are just ridiculously blue, and people go further with 10000k's that are about as effective as a candle in a hurricane.

 

I had the 8k from 3bspecs and after this past weekend I had to remove them and go back to stock. I was driving on back country roads where my headlights are the only lights around. They weren't bright enough to light up the road well and was hard to read the road signs...the blue reflection from them was killing me.

The stock 4300 definately have the most light output, even if they aren't as white as I'd like.

 

6000k headlights with 3000k hid fogs...enough said haha. The combination of these two color spectrums really puts out a lot of useable light on the roads and still lights up street markings and signs great from the 6000k lows. When we evacuated for Gustav i was driving around in Mississippi in the wooded areas a good 45 miles from the nearest city....aka......pitch black. I had no problem seeing at night and actually saw a dear on the side of the road a good 2-300 feet before i actually rolled past.

 

6000K Ultinions
&
3000K McCulloch HID Fogs

Thats All folks

 

anyone have shots showing the light spread from the 6kk headlights and 3kk fogs? i'm curious if the fogs glare upward or stick to the ground like they should
