6000k Compaired to 8000k HID LIGHTS

6000k on left and the other is 8000k, both are the same kit from the same site (TOPHIDKITS.COM) the 6000's are in a 1999 Deville and the 8's are in a 1997 Cougar....(NOTE: The camera makes the lights look more blue than they actually are, the 6000's are a diamond/crystal bright white and the 8000's are a crystal white with a cool blue look

k guys i have a question i have regular head lamps and if i get the 6000k would it blind people, if it does and i have a projector whats a good one for it the 8000k? i drive 03 corolla

[trailertrash20010]

@TopGamingKingz 6000k would still be a good choice either way, Ive had the same 6000k in 3 of my vehicles and never had a problem (so i think) with blinding other drivers, if you drive a regular car or just simple aim your headlamps downward a bit, you wont be disturbing other drivers.

Yea people should not use HIDs unless they have projection lamps...

@ashley260590 8000k is not brighter than 6000k. It is a color rating. 8000 is more blue and the higher the number the more blue the light is.

@TopGamingKingz yes it will blind people if you don;t use HID projectors with the HIDs. Just do an HID retrofit and have great light. Took me 2 days to open my lights up & install projectors & have sweet light out put with a clean cut-off line.

@blasko229 Actually the higher the number the more purple a light (yes it first goes to blue and then to purple at 12000k) is but close enough :)

6000K FTW

@icemanken123 well the sun puts out 6k lights so anything lower than 6k is perfect for the dark anything more is just for looks

@icemanken123

But I thought the whole point of for example, a H7R was to allow HiD bulbs in a non-projector headlamp...?

@icemanken123 not necessarily true.

@boostedwolfie Now that I think about it 5000-6000 (white) would appear the brightest since it is not filtered with a color. Lower or higher would be slightly dimmer.
