Right now Im running 6K HIDS. The light output is ok I suppose. I'm thinking of switching to 4300k. Will the difference be noticeable?

4300 has the highest light output to my knowledge, so yes you should be able to see an increase in distance.

Yes, everything wont be so bluish (Im running 6k HIDs now).

Kason23 · 11-02-2009, 04:41 PM

Yea. its VERY blue. Im sure I can just buy the replacement H1 bulbs correct. And plug them into the ballast since I already have the adapter and all.

Also where can I get a good set of bulbs at?

ShiRoTor4 · 11-02-2009, 04:45 PM

Yep, just the bulb will do it.

Im running 6K headlights & 4500K fogs & the only difference i can see is the color.........light output appears about the same.

If your fogs are as bright as your headlights , ...........that should tell you something about 6k vs 4.3k output .
All things being equal , your headlights should put out MUCH more light than your fogs .

thats because the hids are not regulated by a casper shield or projector. so the beam is all over the place.

Well thanks guys I got got some replacement 4300k bulbs from hidoutlet.com.

4300k has more usable light and less "blue" tint to it than 6000k. You will notice a difference when you install them.

CarsAddict · 11-03-2009, 04:11 PM

surely there will be differences

**bitts** · 11-04-2009, 09:50 PM

I will be switching to 4.3k .

mikedero08 · 11-04-2009, 09:59 PM

so the 3ks are going to have more light output than the 4ks right? lower the temperature, the more usable lumens? correct me if im wrong, please

Kason23 · 11-05-2009, 06:35 AM

No I believe 4k-4.3k is the "most light" at least on the info I recieved.

Also I have looked around. What is the cheapest retrofit for a modern performance halo headlight. I want cheap,easy to install and "better" light output then these damn halo ones.

LilSparkPlug · 11-05-2009, 09:31 AM

3k is yellow light and will not have more output than the 4300k. 4300k closely mimics the output of the sun, light wise, which is why it is deemed to have the most usable light.
