I miss my baby. I cry a little sometimes. The BRZ is better overall, but I still miss her. Especially in the rain/snow. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk |

The thought of going FI just doesn't appeal to me anymore. It seems like an endless bunch of Gremlins, for some. Pass...

I think its more when you start chasing extra power from it. Have some install it who knows, do your research, and just run a conservative tune and its all good i feel.

You are correct. The sun is that Kelvin color. I have 6000K HID. OEM HID generally are lower in kelvin rating though, 4300k and lower. I have read that even though the Sun is 5800K, that 4800K is the best for headlights, though they didn't give a specific reason. I have had a few cars with HID and done a few retrofits. I also know that everyone's eyes are slightly different and individually we prefer different colors. Really there is no one size fits. Additionally the shape of the reflector housing can affect the way a retro fit kit looks. Also, 8% of men are color blind. This will change what like K rating they like. Blue Light affects sleep. It will cause a rise in awareness, tons of info online if you google. I feel that While driving at night using the HID 6000K, It slightly changes the color of the signs and surroundings causing me to be more awake. Maybe it is all in my head!

I'm happy with the car the way it is TBH. My only real purpose to modding the car is to get back to turning some wrenches again. I think I will just do some bolts on for now and focus on weight loss. (Not me, the car ) (Shits and giggles) |

I thought 4300K gives better contrast cuz it's not as white.
I had 5000K Polarg halogen bulbs before for inner high beams and the color seemed too white for good visibility vs the 4300K stock Hella Bi-Xenon HIDs I had, these were all on my old GTI (I re-programmed them into Euro mode to have them all turn on for high beams). The BRZ Bi-Xenon high beams suck ass in comparison. |
