Hey guys do HID have a tendency to change colors? I originally bought the hella 8500k they were very blue
now the passenger one is kind of like an aqua white its allot brighter then the drivers side blue one . What gives

 

Cheap, Fake, Ricer. equals low value.

 

daizen hids have a burn in period. depending on the bulb they can be anywhere from a few hours-100 hours. it seems that one of your bulbs have burned in and the other hasn't. try swapping the bulbs and see if that gets any better. the salts inside the dimmer bulbs probably didn't burn off yet.

 

Now this is the color theyre going to stay ? I wanted to buy blue not aqua. Its just odd how they just turned to look like 6000K, and ruki do me a favor dont post any useless post in my threads, everyone knows there is nothing rice about my car you on the other hand have rice coming out of your mouth frequently.

 

On the contrary, 8500k HIDs are cheap and ricer, even if it wasn't you goal to be so. They have low light output, low longevity, low build quality, obnoxious glare, etc. No respectable company makes 8000K kits so whatever you bought probably came from Asia, probably has low QC standards, and the bulbs are probably from different batches with different crystal mixtures outputting different colors. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case. Not to worry, the bulbs will probably fry in a year so you can buy good ones then. There is a slight chance that your projectors are just mis-aimed and one is emmitting more glare than the other. Check it out.



*Folks, if you want color in your HID, buy Philips Ultinon and nothing else. If you want performance lighting, Philips OEM is the way to go.

 

why would you ask about HID's here?

Moved.

 

yes that's correct daizen, that will be their permanent color. unless of course the bulbs are still color shifting to a lighter color. mine took around a 100 hours to burn in. daizen swap the bulbs and hopefully the other bulb will burn in to the aqua color too or you will have some weird color hids like mine. My passenger side projector is messed up so it projects a yellow beam on the top

 

mis-aimed anyway in adjusting that one is lower then the other.

 

what do you mean daizen? you want to adjust the beam and your asking how, is that the question? if that is there is 2 screws in the back of the headlights one will have a display in it that has a L and R that is not the right one unless you are trying to adjust left and right. There should one one right underneath the fender kind of hidden from view. That will be the one that adjust your vertical beam pattern.

 

the vertical beam pattern adjustment is where again? can u pinpoint it a bit more thanks shabo

 

sorry daizen i don't have a diagram to show you but have you located the screw for the horizontal beam pattern? that one should be fairly easy to find. (the one with the l and r). Now lets say your doing the passenger headlight look all the way to the fender. there should be a metal screw sticking out right next to the fender. it does NOT have the diagram for the up and down like the other screw. it just sticks out. Try looking for this on the passenger side first, the driver side has the battery in the way which makes it even harder to locate and get to. i have a pic here of my car (before hid install) it should show you where teh screw is. Though. THe yellow is the left and right the green is the up and down. hopefully this is enough to help you find the screw. i'll try to post better pics tom if you still can't find it. (best pic i could find at 4 am)

 

and ruki do me a favor dont post any useless post in my threads
What are you saying here?

 

Dont waste my time

 

daizenlex, careful of what you say here. people have the right to comment how others mod their cars. i would say putting 8500k is ricer act too, coz' to me nothing more than 6000k philips would go on my car, anything else higher is definitely cheap stuff and they are not going to last long. that's my comment, i can say it, lex400sc said that too. don't start any flame wars here

and about your hid, could be that it's not broken in yet, or that it's quality is bad and it's fading already

 

people who call other cars rice, drive a stock car with no mods, and go on forums calling people rice because he is too poor to mod his lexus..
