HID's help please

[ellidsco]

What have the majority of people got?? 6000k or 8000k I know that the 8000k is more blue and the 6000k is brilliant white but just wanted to gauge the general opinion on them?? Also what are the white sidelights that everyone gets on here off ebay?? Could someone please forward a link to the sidelights for sale on ebay, thank you. Also pics of 6000k and 8000k so I can compare them on corsa's if thats not too much to ask. Thanks people.

[bmac]

i think most people will have 8k, i do and prefer them over the 6k

[D19O]

i have 8k

[rad_brad]

<<<< 8k

[ellidsco]

Is there anyway that I can make this a poll now that I've submitted it, coz it would make more sense than people just posting "I have ....."?? Anyone got any pics. I want the headlights to match the sidelights (white)

[ktl]

< 10k

in that case get 6k if u want it to match

[RIZ]

< 10k

Did you need a harness or was it straight plug and play

[Mark S]

i would go for 8000k mate

[smudge_don]

anyone made their full beam a white/blue colour instead of the ****e yellow light?

if so, how?

[Mark S]

MattH has just put HIDs in full beam

[smudge_don]

MattH has just put HIDs in full beam

any other way of doing it? can you just get different bulbs rather than a whole new HID kit?

[ellidsco]

Are 8000k ones actually brighter than the 6000k ones or do they just seem to be more of a blue colour. My mate has got 6000k ones in a Polo and he showed them me and even in the daylight they are really really bright. Are the 8000k ones even brighter?

[ktl]

there just bluer. 6k is the brightest then as it goes higher up the lumas (colour) changes!

8k blue

10k blue blue

12 blue purple

[JJ_5DOORCORSA]

aren't ur main beams the same h7 halogen bulbs, if so cant u just buy those fake xenon bulbs off ebay and replace them.

[JJ_5DOORCORSA]

iv been told any higher than 9k then they start becoming illegal.

[mr steve]

right, 8000k is the legal limit, and if your worried about how much you can see get the 6000k hids as they much better for night time driving, although 8000k do look alot better!!

i got pulled over tother day for my headlights, they were sayin that they too blue, even tho they 8000k!!
told copper to pull car up next to mine as i knew that their lights were the same blueness as mine lol, they let me off:lol:

[S4 SWO]
