10,000K upgrade...
i just recently purchased and installed a set of 10,000K xenon upgraded bulbs for my gs4....but my problem is that the light concentration on the ground doesnt seem as bright as my 4000K factory HID bulbs...did i install these wrong or the upgraded bulbs just not that good?? but if i were to look directly at the car the lights are very very bright and they have a nice violet look to them...
to conpensate for the brightness i adjusted the headlights down but my auto-leveling system just levels it back up... what am i to do??

that's coz' all the lights are going everywhere now...... 10,000k that's stupidly dim to begin with. that's so blue it's almost no light. anything higher than 6000k is too dim anyway. you didn't install it wrong, you just bought it wrong, that's all. 10000k is the color temperature, in case you thought that means brigher than 4100k...

lsportlex, do you have any pics with your lights on? I've never actually seen how 10000k looks like.

trying to get pics of my car on on CL so everyone can see it but it is under going sound system surgury as of right now.. as soon as i get some pics of my car i will post them..but when i get the car back it probably wont have those rediculous 10,000 k bulbs in there..just gonna put i back to stock.. i feel ripped off purchasing those things... please dont remind me of such a stupid thing i did....
those light are not like super dim, but they are definatly not nearly as bright as the stock bulb.. its brighter that the regular halogen bulb. but the light output is just violet..let just say really violet at that..
well thanks to all the help from everybody im just gonna put my stock ones back............
