Neo Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I think 6000k for a HID kit is perfect. The light is whiter with a hint of blue and you minimize light output loss. Here is an old pic of my car with 6000k: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 if your car laready has hid's then you just need bulbs right? so you can get like a phillips 6000k set for like 200 bucks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW03ES Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Stock Lexus HID is 4100k. Keep in mind the reflector housings in a halogen lamp are different, which is why 6000k looks more like OEM than 4100k when its an aftermarket kit. Optimum light output is 4100k though, higher than that and the lights put out less output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexus_gs400 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 What K are the stock HID headlights in a Lexus. I'm wanting to buy a 6000k kit. ← YOU WILL GET MUCH BRIGHTER HID'S, IF YOU CHANGE YOUR CURRENT HID HEADLAMP TO A REGULAR HEADLAMP. MEANS TAKE YOUR HID LAMP AND REPLACE THEM WITH NON HID LAMP AND THEN INSTALL AFTERMARKET HID KIT AND YOUR CAR WILL BE REALLY BRIGHT. I HAVE THE SAME ON MY GS400 HEADLIGHT AND FOGLIGHT. AND MANY PEOPLE TURNS HEAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting HID kits into halogen housings (which is what I have for now) is not optimal. The halogen reflectors are made to emit light differently than HID ones and will cause glare for on-coming traffic unless you point the lights down a bit more. The cutoff will also be diffused. IMO, Good - Aftermarket HID kit into halogen housing Better - OEM HID. Change out the bulb if you want different color output. I'd go with 6000k. Best - Retrofit HID projectors into the OEM housing.
