HID light question

**BTs98LS1** · 03-25-2011, 11:18 AM

Can somone please tell me what color HIDs are worth buying because i found a 6000k kit on amazon for 40 bucks which seems like a good deal i just dont know if i should get 6000k or 8000k my stock halogans suck i cant see very well at night with them and i like the HID look and i would like to get the kit which improves visibility the best any feedback would help

I would go with 6k if your doing HIDs the 8-10 gets pretty blue and kinda defeats the purpose

35 watts with 6000k is a bit blue.
55 watts with 6000k is white with a bit of blue.

35W 5000K is what I have from DDM...work flawless

**tpilews** · 03-28-2011, 12:51 PM

I have the 6000k hids from DDM and hey have a bit of a blue tint to them.

**tpilews** · 04-11-2011, 01:35 PM

Thought I'd post an update. I just received my new headlights in the mail and am waiting for the bulbs from DDM. Fedex says they'll be here tomorrow.

Here are the new headlights...

I can confirm these are Sonar branded projectors.

I'll post some before and after shots once I get everything installed.

Those will look good, can't wait to see on car.

I wish something like this could be put on T/A's that isn't the cost of new set of heads. I know there are some versions out there.

IMHO the lighting on a T/A is like 2 black eye's.

I'd like to see what these look like straight in front of your car. I bet you're blinding the hell out of people you drive by. That, or you have them pointed down so far, it's pointless to have HIDs in there anyway. Ask me how I know. This is why I've gone to a projector style headlight.

there better and lots brighter then stock and i planned on putting in projectors but i dont like any of the after market options

**02sunsetorangeZ** · 04-12-2011, 06:30 AM

me and my bro got some 55watt 6k from ddm and the driver side likes to turn off randomly, me and my brother both have 6k 35watt from tspny.com, complete water proof and never had an issue almost had them for 2 years now. I still get brighted with my lows and fogs on haha

Yeah, I have had HIDs in a halogen housing for 6 months or so now. They are definitely brighter that stock, but light is scattered way too much in the housing. Honestly, it's actually against the law to have HIDs in a standard halogen housing. I wasn't much of a fan of any of the projector choices on the market either, but I'm going with better light output and safety for those around me over aesthetics.

i just bought mine from a guy here locally and they have a lifetime warranty on them. i had a bulb go out a few months ago and all i did is went up there and exchanged with him with out a hassle plus no waiting on shipping

Not sure why blinding other drivers is a laughing matter. You probably should adjust the height of your beam. I haven't had anyone ever flash their brights at me.

**02sunsetorangeZ** · 04-12-2011, 08:16 AM

mine are actually aimed pretty low compared to my moms and my brothers, never messed with them nor will i. I think they are fine, its mostly on my county road that i get the brights because itll be dark then i come over hill so my lights are aiming up, they dont wait to see what they look like on a flat road

i get that shit all the time so i purpously make an ass of myself by switching from the hid's to my highs quickly

**02sunsetorangeZ** · 04-12-2011, 08:50 AM

lol yea i love it when i have my highs warmed up then i come up to a hill and see lights so i turn them off then still get brighted so i switch back to them all warmed up.
