5000k HID

I removed my 6,000k bulbs and installed 5,000k ones today. Gave me an honest pure white with maybe the slightest hint of yellow. The 6,000k bulbs looked cool but I was getting tired of the purple white light they put out. Also these 5,000k's put out 400 lumens more light then the 6,000k's (3,200 vs 2,800 lumens).

@rompn4x so all u did was remove the stoock lights and then replace them? no ballasts or any other devices needed to be installed? thats it? plug and play? and also how long do/did they last? do u still have them? thanks. sorry for so many questions but i want too be 100% sure before i buy them.

@STREETRACEN4U I installed a set of ballast boxes and 2 xenon bulbs. The ballasts plug directly into the headlight sockets then the hid bulbs plug into the ballast boxes. Been 2 years and just had a ballast box blow on me (water got into it). ordered a replacement one for 9 bucks.

i have 6000k hids thinking about swticthing to 5000k can u see better with 5000k my 6k were very bright but with a blue tint was wondering if 5000k are just as bright with out the blue

[rompn4x]

@Dansz71sierra 500k's put out about 300lumen more of visible light. They make it easier to see everything by a little bit.

Those look better than the ricey blue and purple hids. Plus the human eye does not see better in blue or purble. Smart move (thumbs up).

@rompn4x good video, and description. Im looking into HID conversions and thinking the 5000k will be best. how are they on the glare in the rain? do they reflect back bad? yellow tint on white sounds perfect.
