HID's: 4300K or 6000K
 
There has been a lot of debate on this. What type of lighting do you have? projector/reflector? and what bulb do you prefer? 4300K/6000K?

can i choose it 3 times? i had 6000k on my acura tls, then on my gs4, then on my is3, then now the fogs on my gs4 are using 6000k hid too :)

6000k all the way

My avatar has a pic of my projector lights with Philips 6000 K hid . I have those HIDs on my low beams and my fog lights have sylvania silverstars.

Hey Rominl, this may be a stupid question, but I just have to ask it to be sure :). 6000k HID in the yellow housing, when it is lit up, do you see PURE bright yellow or is it a mixture of blue/yellow? I was thinking of going with 4300k with the yellow housing, this way, it would look more of a PURE bright yellow.

I've got projectors on mine... G4 bulbs all round now, as I still have no money to do an HID conversion lol, need to save up for new bushes as mine are dead! :mad:

you just see bright white. i put 6000k there only coz' it's a spare kit i got for my other car. if i had to get hid kit for the fogs i would have just gotten 4100k. you won't see any sense of purple in my fogs

what i have noticed is that most of the people with GS's prefer 6000k and the other lexus owners prefer 4300K... does it have to do with the light housing? Projector vs, reflector?

Probably just personal preference. It's usually either 4100K or 6000K (actually 5800K if they are Ultinons) for most Lexus owners. The 7000K+ stuff is usually found on the fixed up Hondas and Acuras.

I'm a purist, Philips 4100K all the way. Clean, white light, brightest, highest visibility--doesn't get any better!



PS: Henry, don't forget about your Xenarc bulbs man, they still in my backseat!

Philips 4100K is the brightest and most reliable, period.

mrshabo Aug 2, 2003 10:09 PM
