8000K vs 12000K

[MrBDima]

8000к is better

[justintimesa]

Bought a hid kit with 6000k! can i fit 8000k or more with out changing ballasts?

[Y0RKSHRE]

@justintimesa yes just need new bulbs

[PhazonKing]

TOO bad that this is not legal :-( I *LOVE* XENON!

[Fred07M6]

This model Saab did not, that's why we added aftermarket ones. But it is an option from the factory.

[RcSaabChevy]

on the saab, did the cr come stock with hid ballasts?

[Fred07M6]

@FIFArock as long as their of descent quality it should be fine. Some cheaper eBay brand headlights can warp or distort occasionally and may let water in.

[fifarock1]

I want to buy new headlights for my truck but the specs say please use stock light bulb for installation.. I currently have the 8000k hid kit on my stock headlights. Will the new clear headlights melt or something? Or can they withstand the heat of the bulbs?

[Fred07M6]

8000k, the 12k looks more purple ish when your driving and you really can't see anything cuz of how purple it is. Not very good for visibility.

[KidWonder01]

8000k or 12000k on an SI? O:

[Fred07M6]

It's a Saab and it's an H7

[nicklofton]

the car on the right, is that a passat? if so, the lights are h11s? if so, do the bulbs rattle when driving over rough road?

[06Katana1]

i have an 02 altima could i do say a 12000k dim light and a 8000k bright light when i turn on the brights they are both on at the same time so it would have to different colored would that be to bright

[Covenanter62]

I have 12000Ks on my 95 XJ6 but they are blue, more like the vehicle on the left?.

[Fred07M6]

6k is ideal as far as having both color and good light output. But if your looking for more of a blue light go for 8k.  Anything higher puts out less light and is more on the blue/purple side.

[chicagobleek]

@Fred07M6 Im new to the HID game, but thanks for this comment bro!! Because im looking for the blue look and was about to buy the 12000k. Great vid!

[Emil1787]

Guys so basically 8K is aqua blue, 10K is Blue ( my favorite :) and 12K is Purple? correct? because i look at different vids and everywhere is different.

[819sebas]

@Emil1787 actually there is the color temperature : 3000K= yellow 5000k=OEM white 6000K=diamond white 8000k=iceburg blue 10000k= brillant blue 12000k=violet blue 30000k=pink / violet ... but for better light output 6000k is the best for visibility

[Pupixario]

5 6 -best 8 is kinda normal but too blueish

[Fred07M6]

I will be putting up a new video soon of my new light set up in my Mazda 6. Custom LED tail lights, parking lights, 6k in the headlights and 4300k in the fogs.

[synthwomanP5]

is that legal??? lol

[Accord1998man]

how r the 8k lights do u like them??

[EndoftheRd]

ok Bro ! I bought a set for 9004 for a Maxima but only turns on when i switch lights to high, cause i'm not sure if those only for low beam or for both ,but in low only is on ! as a normal foggy yellow light, thank u for any advice !!

great vid Bro !!

[ben1482]

It's funny how people say ricer and shit like that, but what about all the luxury vehicles that come with 6 and 8K hids stock, I guess it's ok only if we spend 40,000 on a vehicle huh.

[Fred07M6]

Actually they both have projectors, but the Saab's headlights are a little foggy

[kingjames8971]

at least one of those cars is smart and has projectors...people are always saying they get pulled over for thr Hids...go out and buy some projectors and you wont distract drivers nearly as much

[ros6666]

do these fit right into a 2007accord or do i need a kit???

[miguelandoniez]

i buy a 2 headlights halo angel lights for my mitsubishi eclipse.. can i install hid for it.?

[pillpoppa52987]

nevamind i just got my 12000 k and put em in my projectors today its real nice at night time cant see as good as da ones in my moms car thoes dem are 6000 k

[pillpoppa52987]

CAN U SEE PRETTY GOOD WITH 12000 K i got sum 6000k but i want sum 12000 think i would see good ? alot of ppl say the sight succs ??

[jj507857]

55w or 35w?

[tribehawk]

def not 12k

[jpap967]

Ricey vs. Ricier

[1skul]

where did you get the 8000k HID's from??

I want those! =D

[adnamarie]

i got 8k in my car and its the BEST, its a nice deep color but still has enough light output so u can see well, the only thing is that it sucks really bad in rain, so if it rains alot by u go 6K otherwise 8K is the way to go...

[czf21]

were did u got them i been look for 8000k for my celica but they wont let me get them and how much is it ?

[mikejones12314]

is it hard to instal on the mazda 6? i got got mine and still dont know if i should install or get it done?

[Crazyrogue]

@mikejones12314 just look at a guide online if my dumb friend can do it you should be able to lol

[chevyboyz09]

WHICH 1'S WOULD LOOK NICE ON A 2001 MONTE CARLO SS ALL BLACK ON 24'S

[rayadiktotx]

@chevyboyz09 Please drive without lights, you can do society a favor and run over some nigga criminals in your hood! lol

[docram1983]

@rayadiktotx wow... so i guess u just presume homie is black.. haha.. ray u are a ass hat

[Beatwize6]

@rayadiktotx--- maybe the world would be better off if he'd run over some cracker redneck in your hood... oh, wait; I guess you should keep ur eyes on the road the next time you walk across ur hick street. U must be on ur period or something cause it sounds like ur mad at urself.

[atllaoboi]

how do you install them in a 05 tl

[yurpadre]

do you kno how to change hid bulbs on a '04 cadillac srx? if you do i need some tips and pointers BAD.

[redsox4567]

do you know of any problems that xenon might have with 2000 pathfinders? plan to get either a 8 or 10K dont know which ones yet

[Fred07M6]

BrianM-what kind of car is you kit going into?

[Fred07M6]

No, the blue color does not hurt your eyes. 4300k is the easiest to see because it most closely resembles natural daylight, also being the brightest bulb type in the spectrum. 8000k is a deep blue in which i have no trouble seeing with. 6000k is a little more on the whiter side with a little less color than the 8000k. So I'd you want the brightest and easiest to see i would get something between 4300-6000k.

[lespaulguitarist92]

@Fred07M6 what kelvin should you go if you want to see better but also not blind other drivers as much.

[brianmnguyen]

i heard that 8000k is bad for your eyes right?

like after the 8000k warms up it turns white a little bit right?

[brianmnguyen]

hi I have a question

i'm planning to get hid lights but i don't know what to get

can you give me a suggestion 6000k or 8000k?

[dmetaxi]

@brianmnguyen 6.000K if you like to be more white. HID 8.000K has a lot of blue. (The perfect white colour, is about 4.300K)

[brianmnguyen]

hi I have a question

i'm planning to get hid lights but i don't know what to get

can you give me a suggestion 6000k or 8000k?

[plptypscp]

did your co-worker with the Saab have halogens in there projectors before you installed the HIDs? Did you have to adjust the beams on the Saab after installing the HID kit? I received my HID kit in the mail a week ago and am taking my Saab 9-3 to the dealership to get the Tech II programmed to Xenon mode. I bought a 35W 4500K.

[TheWalkerbrenton]

I wanted the deep blue lights. I had 12s but whiched to 1000k cause they were purple. Then the 1000k were blue but not a blue as i wanted, they were more like a light blue. do u think 8ks will give off the blue im looking for?

[plptypscp]

was there glare on the Saab 9-3 or was it the camera lens? I want to put a xenon conversion kit on my 2005 Saab 9-3 that came with halogens. Is the Saab your car? Do you ever have other people on the road flickering there brights at you?

[Fred07M6]

No glare at all on the saab, the car belongs to a co-worker of mine and I think the glare was just from the camera. I was only using an older sony digital camera for the video. The only thing with the saabs is that you have to bring the car to the dealer to have it reprogrammed to "xenon mode" to make the car run the proper voltage to the hid bulbs, or your hid bulbs will go out after about a day or so. I have only encountered this issue with Saabs! THey are not the easiest cars to deal with..

[techblitz]

@Fred07M6 thats thanks to gm owning saab now..

[nya13]

I just ordered a 8000K and will have that installed on my pearl white 2010 4Runner Limited! Booyeah!

[collinsjaime13]

hey what color do you recomend i have a jeep liberty i recently bought 10000k for it i was extremly happy with them but one of my ballast gave out in three weeks so i wanna buy either the 10000k again or the 12000k which one do you recomend

[dbonanno]

4300K are better than both of these. The higher the K, the less light output you get. Blue lights suck for driving at night.

[abcjp94]

dude you post the same shit on everybodies vids. i have 15k and are as bright as i need them. so who cares what you think. plus the blue if for looks not "visibility, and safety". i have 15000k in my headlights and 2500k in my foglights. and i see perfectly

[FridayNightLights321]

Screw 4300k! Have you ever taken into consideration that not everyone buys HID's for light output. Some buy them because they're stylish. I have 8000k bi xenon are they are bright as hell.  I think 8k, 10k, & 12k are the best. 10k & 12k might not be as bright as 4300k or 6k, but they look badass.

[iPvvntNoobs]

i just ordered 12k hid's for my Infiniti I35...is Apexi a good brand...I got them for $50....and are they going to look like the ones in this video? I like the purple tintish color...

[tchsathlete]

Take some video standing behind the lights looking at the light they are projecting. not directly into the light please

[BadBoyChevy7]

can you tell meh the diff between the numbers on HID's

w/b

[waynelife6669]

i had a question, which one is better for the road?, i had a 6500k but they are in the last so i have to get a new bulbs which one is better 8k vs 10k thanks

[dbonanno]

4300K is the BEST for illuminating the road. Blue lights are just for show.

[realesttrappanit]

so which would you go for style or safety??

[JazzPianoMarvin]

I would go with 5000k

[raversman]

do the digital hid kits need a ground toy the battery? or is it plug and play? Thanks

[Fred07M6]

very simple plug and play, only takes about half an hour.. theres no need for any relays, grounding, or wiring to the battery. The unit also has protection against reverse polarity and is fully weather proof.

[ruuustyvideos]

yo i have 12 k and mine dont look that purple at all more blue to me check out my video

[Fred07M6]

They are from Xtralights. Theyre 35W kits. did not remove the headlights for the install, although the passenger side was a little trickier because of the tight space.

[masonmcglasson]

What is the best brand for HID lights? I've been looking and so far it seems that the Xetronic Hid kits are the best... Is that true?

[Fred07M6]

Ive done some research, and this kit seems to be one of the best out there so far. There 8000K is an awesome color.

[wewsnu]

thanks 4 the side-by-side

[Cubanito187]

i like those 12ks i got 25k purple. had 800k

[Fred07M6]

theyre nice but not nearly as bright as the 8000k's

[pokerplayawill]

sup man, i'm looking into getting HID's for my 07 mazda 6 as well and i have a few questions. 1. what brand did you go with & what wattage ex. 35 or 55? 2. was the install hard with the baking of the headlights and such? 3. how long did it take you
