blackGS Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 :) Hi all, Thanks to all of you guys for great info from this site, thanks. I have few questions that I need good advise from you guys. I bought McCulloch 8000K HID conversion kit for my 2001 GS 300 which it carry bluish color that I don't like. I want HID with super bright white. I found HID bulb called "8000K Diamond White" so I email them here is what they reply to me: The 9000K is Violet White. The 8500K is Blue + Violet white The 8000K is diamond white. The 6000K is white and carry a little bluish. I thought K rate is for different color so wondering could 8000K have two different color? Have anyone have 8000K that carry super white? thanks. P.S. I appreciate if anyone tell me good place to buy HID bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdmparts_guru Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 don't get fooled by the names of the light color. Just concentrate on the K value. The best usuable light output is 4300 - 4700K, but is a little yellow (like sun light). The nicest light, but still very usuable is 5500 - 6000K, which is very white-ish. Anything above that is blue-ish (7500 - 8500K) or even purple (10000K) and is only for looks. Also, do not buy the cheapest HID bulbs you can find, but go for quality stuff. The cheap bulbs are from Taiwan or China, and will discolor in 6 - 12 months (if they do not fail). Go for a big brand like Philips, Catz. or Bellof, and this time, pick the ones with the correct K value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
