never really been into benz's. Except this one of course:

 

lol that is a nice benz, but as a daily driver I would love an S class over anything else. Only problem is I'm about 90k short lol.

 

I would rather have a..................................yes you guessed it.......................NSX. Not much of a daily though.

 

r33 right hand drive only

 

wow,this is still open.

You dont say.

 

Looks like that door on that Benz was made for really short,skinny peoples...[sm=groupwave.gif]

Interesting thread,

So to get back to the general subject at hand, "HID Newbe" let me add...

Be aware that some users of the HID Lamps have reported a problem with the Higher Kelvin lamps in the rain. The complaints typically report a decrease in road visibility when it is raining, the higher the K (the bluer the light) the worse the problem.

Without getting real technical (and the physics of light can get deep), remember your high school physics, when light passing through a clear fluid (air) holding small particles in suspension (moisture), the shorter blue wavelengths of light are scattered more strongly than the red wavelengths of light (why the sky looks blue). Soooo… the real high Kelvin lights (blue) have a diminished brightness because the blue part of the light is scattered and does not light the road out in front very well, verses the lower Kelvin white light (6000 to 8000 Kelvin) that will tend to put more light down the road, this problem (diminished blue light) gets even worse in the rain. This simple principle also helps to explain why yellow fog lights (yellow being an even lower Kelvin) work so well.

 

Hmmm very interesting, I never knew that but it makes perfect sense. I've never noticed anything like that with my 8000k, but I've never been looking.

 

preciate it...well ill be buyin my HID set tonite so i preciate all of ur input snd one last question....are HID lights illegal in my car...in tx that is??...and im really thinkin about still stickin with the 10000k but for some reason in certain forums some say the higher the kelvin the purple it gets...and here yall are sayin the higher the bluer...im startin to believe the higher the bluer but one of the pics in the thread has 14k K as purple...now idk if its just 14k K thats purple and the rest are blue or wat...but i know i saw sum very very purple lights comin from oklahoma today...im pretty sure they were about 14k K....no doubt in my mind.......but im sticking with 10k K that would indeed be more blue than purple right??

Edit: as far as me sayin 14k K in this msg i really think im talkin about 12k K not 14..my bad

 

heres a pic of the kit i want...can u judge by sight or do u need add. info to tell if its a good kit??
