12000k hid's

[rodenal]

Just a quick one, i have the chance to buy a 12000k hid conversion chip very cheaply and wondered whether you guys know what kind of difference there is with the higher temp bulbs?

I know they give out less light than say the 4300k xenons, but will they still be a big improvement over my halogens, as they are basically terrible.

Going into projectors, and i know they're purpleishy which im not a huge fan of, but im being offered this kit at a stupid price.

 

[claudefrog]

they will be pink

 

[madvw]

whats stopping you replace the bulbs once installed?

 

[silver75]

they will be pink

they will be purple look **** and give no light

 

[rodenal]

Well replacing the bulbs defeats the purpose as a new set wouuld be 60 minimum, would they really be purple??

 

[Ess_Three]

Yes...very much so.

 

[Booth_S4]

yeah they really would be purple! ive got 10k ones and they are so blue its crazy! ive had people stop me in the day when they have been on and ask where i got my lights from as they are bright blue even in the day light.

 

[FrankScorpio]

12k might be a bit high...

 

[triggermyson]

What happens ater 12k then..?!!

 

[Ess_Three]

You get into ultra violet light don't you?
****** all use for seeing whilst driving...

 

[ash_s3]

what are the standard S3 colour? 4300k?

 

[Ess_Three]

I think so yeah...
I have some 6000K in my Golf and they were far more blue/purple than my S3's HIDs.

 

[A3_Turbo]

Ive seen 12k and its far too purple!

Perfect is 6000k and if you want a slight hint of blue get the 8000k anny higher and your talking 10,000 k is very blue and 12k is deep purple.

Stupid price = ?

 

[rodenal]

Stupid price = £40

I think 8k at a push is about right, 6k for optimum blue look and visibility, but believe me these bulbs 5k plus are not good in the fog conditions, be aware!
