HID Lights
I just picked up my LX570 last night from the dealership.
It has the HID high beam from the factory.
I want to order HID kits for Low Beam and Fog Lights from Xenon Depot. I want the whitest and brightest possible.
What "K" and "H" do I need to order for each of the lights?
How much would it cost to ship these international to Dubai, UAE?
Thanks

Steve at www.xenondepot.com had a sale on the kits a few weeks ago. It may still be on. You need H11 for both headlights and foglights. the kelvin is up to you. I have 6000k in the fogs and 6500k in the headlights from xenondepot. Here is a link https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=357123
Just PM him and I'm sure he'll respond.

Hi,
I would suggest going with the 4300k kit for the best match to OEM HID low beams.
I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Feel free to PM me or send me an email to info@xenondepot.com
The ClubLexus promotional pricing is still on.

i agree.. the 4300K is the best light temp, and is closest to the OEM temps. The other temps might look "bluer" but for specific light output, I believe 4300-4700 is optimal.
I had a XenonDepot kit before. Very easy to install, and very effective!

We also just introduced a new product line which uses 4300k German made Philips bulbs:

pbm and steve,
I have heard so many times that 4300k gives the "most light output." I can understand/assume it is the case for aftermarket replacement bulbs which are tinted/colored or seem to have a substance on the bulb which produces a different color (I've purchased so many of this in the past). It would make sense that if a bulb is tinted/colored, less light will be emitted, but is this true for HID as well? The reason I ask is that all the HID kits I've seen, no matter the type of kit or kelvin, have a clear bulb and a "stick of color" next to the bulb which I assume is producing the particular kelvin. If my assumption is correct, then why would lumens or light output be different for the different kelvins if all the bulbs are clear? As mentioned in other posts and threads, I installed a 6000k HID kit in the fogs/driving lights and a 6500k HID kit in the headlights of my LX and I feel the HID kits are brighter and have a better beam pattern than the oem bulbs but how more much light is emitted with 4300k as opposed to 6000k or 6500k? Educate me please! Thanks!

The colour of the light is also produced by the salts/gases inside the capsule. Some of our customers feel that the 6000k bulbs appear to be brighter based on the colour that the lighte emit on the ground (more of a crisp white). The 4300k bulbs have a yellowish tinge to them so the white contrast is not as noticeable. Having said that, its also a question of how far the light actually projects. The way I typically explain it to our customers is that white = bright. The farther you go from white the less bright you get =)
