Headlight questions
Hey guys,
I was wondering if there is a way to make the hids brighter? like a more powerful hid kit. i believe the stock hids are 35w. I was planning to get 55w but i wanted to know if i needed a relay harness and LBF module? or is there another way? let me know this is for a rx450h thanks |
HIDs are measured by Kelvin temperature. It is a common mistake that the higher the Kelvin the brighter it is. The color temperature only determines the color but not how bright the HID output.
Ex: Color Temp (K) Description 3000k yellowish (great for fog lights) 4300k white light with hint of yellow 5000k pure white light 6000k white light with hint of blue 8000k bluish color 10000k blue <---visibility sucks 12000k blue/purple <---visibility sucks I have 6000k installed in my IS and RX. |
4300k is stock and the brightest HID ... as you go higher, the visible light gets lower and lower, and the color goes from white--->blue--->purple
|
what i mean is go to a higher lumens with more watts. like use a 55w ballast instead of the stock ballasts. i would keep the same color temperature as stock.

Personally, if I want brighter lights, I would go with a 35W HID in the fog lights. |

That sounds good. What's the best way to do that?
