HID Newb
 

right off the bat imma tell u i think its prolly dumb for me to have already bought them then want to do research but hey o well.....i jus bought some 8500k purple lights yesterday online and they should be here prolly tomorrow...i have a 98 accord lx......do you think they would look good on there?...bcuz i heard that they wont be too bright....does anyone have any pics of what it might look like??

RE: HID Newb
 

8500K isnt too too bad, 12000k is just straight up purple with very little out poot, 8500k might not even be purple, it might just be blue.

RE: HID Newb
 

EDIT:8500k is not purple ish,1200K is.



My honest opinion on them is that they are ugly,tacky,and quite frankly feminine for a guy.
But on a lighter note,you already purchased them,so..as far as brightness,the lower the K,the bright i.e. 4500K=bright

And for what they will look like on your car,you should you tube it.

oh really?..because it had like a drop down box to choose diff colors...it had blue...purple..yellow...and green...and it said 8500k 9006 low beams euro dezigns...it was about $20 total price...so i jumped on it..in the store theyre slightly higher...i just dont want to get some lights that look very crappy because i had some xenon lights that had a very very blue bulb but were more of an aqua blue than a deep blue...

RE: HID Newb
 

^what? $20 HIDs...Am i dreaming?

RE: HID Newb
 

yea my point exactly...it was on this website...so...i jumped on em as quick as possible....now note....this is only the bulbs...NOT INCLUDING HOUSING....just the bulbs but other than that...yes..20..thats why i got em so quick...they should be here tomorrow...so...honestly i hope i made a good choice..really im not worried about brightness bcuz i have two other sets of lights...i have those blue ones i just told you about and some silverstar ones...the silverstars are very very bright white so im using those now...i jus wants some for looks and kinda for brightness

Oh so you can pretty much discard the fact that your getting "hids",when you are in fact getting regular bulbs,that say "HID" and tinted Purple. :eek:

A full HID kit can and should run you less than $160 depending on your provider or what not.

RE: HID Newb
 

You can get a DDM Tuning hid kit for like $60. Ive got them. 5000k

I realized that when he said 8500k and purple, lol. No such thing as 8,500k, and 8,000k is light blue, 10,000k is dark blue, 12,000k and up is purple. I don't get the purple or even the deep blue. But I don't understand why there so popular. Would people like pink headlights too if they are expensive? Oh and those bulbs arn't going to look any more purple, blue, white or whatever than the halogens you have now.

RE: HID Newb
 

damn is that right?? well theres a lifetime warranty on em..lol..so ill prolly jus send em back if i dont like em..or maybe even sell em....and what i wanted to know was...wat is the difference between the hid bulbs 9004, 9006, 9007 and the H7 H8 H6....
