LMAO...i was wondering that myself. There's only one way to fit it in. You must have been impatient to put it on or it was too dark and you couldn't see your way around.

 

Driving with 8000K on wet road, you might as well just shut off your headlights.

 

GMAN, is the 6000K okay to go with and is it a much bigger different from the OEM 4300K ???

 

If I remember right, 4300K is about 20% brighter than 6000K, the 4300K puts out about 3200 Lumens, therefore the 6000K will output about 2600 Lumens. Quite a bit of difference, especially if the road is wet, the whiter light of the 6000K will get absorb by the wet road, it almost seems like you have no headlight on at all. I had a set of 5000K and wasnt satisfy with the light performance, change it to 4300K and it light up the road much better, especially in the rain. If you are looking for light perfermance, go with the 4300K. If you rather have form over function, then go with the 6000K.

 

I recently replaced my OEM HID with 6000k, I do notice that it is not as bright nor clear. It looks really nice at night, but does not function as good as OEM one though...

Right now I am trying to decide if I should put my OEM back on!?!

 

What you really need is to change the optics to make the lights look whiter, have you guys every notice how white those HIDs look on BMW, Audi and Range Rovers, they are still 4300K but the lense makes them look whiter with out losing brightness.

 

I just drove last night, and Orlando had record fog in the area... My lights worked great and I could see perfectly ! That was pretty extreme weather right there !

 

i don't know what is wrong with all of you... crying over the reduced visibility of the 8000k lights. You all must have REALLY REALLY bad eye sight... i have 10000K HIDs on my 07 GS350 and 15000K HIDs on my 07 F150 and have no problems at all, even in rainy and foggy driving conditions. I have 20/20 vision just like most of you probably do but i see perfectly fine.

 

8000K just doesn't produce enough light. 4000-5000K is ideal. Even with my 6000K Ultinons, I like to run HID fogs in parallel. 8000K is a joke - might as well not have headlights.

 

Amazes me that some people drive around with 10000k headlights and tints. Seems like the cops aren't tough enough on cracking down on vehicle road worthiness.

 

im with you..... i had 10k bulbs on my honda accord and i saw perfectly. never had a single complaint. i guess maybe some cl members are a little blind.lol j/k. seriously though ' might aswell turn off the hedlights in the rain' very retarded comment. you can definately see with 8k lights in the rain, if i can see with 10k bulbs.
