finse Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Set shown is my backup 6k set, since the 10s had a wire come loose during the install. Big ups to Kensun for standing behind their product 112%! I asked for a new set, and they delivered! Do everyone in your town a favor, and don't use the 10K's. There is a good reason OEM HIDs come in around the 4300 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it has more to do with marketing and appeasing the masses (and DOT standards) than anything else. Color temperature aside, there is no discernible difference between 6k and 10k, where light output is concerned. Also, I live in Tacoma, WA. In the 'hood. Plenty of 10k HIDs, many in applications for which they were not intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will not see as well with the high temp bulbs, it will even be worse in the wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the lesson, Daniel Stern. I read the same forum (and the same articles!) you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliott Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 If the bulbs and projector are seated and aimed correctly, I don't think different temps will affect other drivers' eyes any differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QFT! Color temperature becomes a moot point, and really no more than a driver's preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanahjoe Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yes, switchback LED strips and switchback corners. They are the hyperblack. Really goes well with the DGM. I've always wanted to get them, but have never been fully convinced on how they look on DGM. I was more inclined to go with the Hyper Silver since I feel Hyper Black.

Pathtoyorsoul Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 This is not the exact same kit I purchased as I believe new models came out, but I did purchase it through these guys. Diode Dynamics is very legit. It looks to be the same thing as mine though. Bright LED Switchback turn signal bulbs, available in 2 different brightness levels. I went with the bright one for look and visibilty. And slap the flasher module into your order and you have the items you need to run them, no hyperblinking if you add the module. Here is it. http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/led-bulbs/listed-by-vehicle/subaru/legacy/2003-2009-subaru-legacy-front-turn-signal-leds.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benfrancis Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Finished product! My camera struggles with the brightness of the halos but they look incredible! All credit goes to my friend Dana and his retrofitting mad-genius ways. I am stoked to be a part of the Touge Fighter family now. If anyone wants to retrofit their lights then hit me up and I'll get you connected! http://i.imgur.com/sSdaxPq.jpg http://i.imgur.com/yKyTMqL.jpg http://i.imgur.com/V6Kbol1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
