3000k HID low beams
ATM I have 6000k HID lights as my low beams. They are great for long distance sign readings but they are pretty poor lighting up the road in front of me. I was thinking of getting 3000k HID as my low beams but want to know if anyone else has them and there views on it. I know it would be a ton better than the 6000k HID for lighting up the road but I would like to know how far the reach would be.

3000k is going to be yellow. as noted above, 4300k would be better suited.

I know 3000k would be yellow but after reading some post on the web wouldent that be better? This is 4100k vs 3000k i feel if more things pop with the 3000k

I have yellow halogens in my lows(hella optilux xtreme yellow). To me they work great. Id assume hid's would only make it better, ive actually been thinking about getting some 3000k hids to replace my yellow halogens.

The replies in this thread remind me of a Honda forum. In the worst way possible.

yellow looks great because it creates contrast that a white light does not. 4300 puts out more lumens (what matters) than 3000 or 6000. However are these just drop in HID? probably why your view out front of your car sucks.

Oh really? You compared the lenses and determined that the optical output of the projector assembly was not worth the price?

If you go with 3000k you're going to annoy the fuck out of other drivers and also look like a tool.

Also can we keep this on topic? I did not ask for retrofits, if i wanted to retrofit my car I would of done it way before i bought my pnp kit. I thank you for trying to help me in that way but I just needed some input on 3000k vs 4300k. |
