There are several different color temperatures to choose from. For a true white, you will want about 6000K bulbs. As far as standard halogen lights, you will never have a true white. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

kaz98gt Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 http://www.neweggmall.com/Product/2009420340/product.html?cm_mmc=PCE-GoogleSearch-_-Automotive-_-Exterior%20Accessories-_-2009420340 This is what I have in mine (not sure about the model of bulb, but the same kind: crystal vision ultra), and it's completely plug and play. I have them in both my headlights and fogs, and I love it. Much better light output, I think it's rated at 4100K so it's a pretty white light too. People have asked if I have HIDs haha, but they definitely get the job done. For a quick swap, they're well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That actually cuts down on the light output. Sylvania Silverstars are the same way. It appears to be brighter just because of the color light thats coming out. There is a pretty extensive guide about automotive lighting I saw not too long ago. I'll see if I can't dig it up. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

kaz98gt Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 ^^ That's over the tip of the bulb though, not where the filament is. The reflectors inside the housing take care of the rest of the job of directing the light to where it needs to be. Regardless, there's a noticeable increase in the clarity and distance down the road that I can see, and I give them my approval at least for $30, it's one of the better things that I've done for my lighting IMO.

Custom Trendz Inc. Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 osram nightbreakers!!! those are the best lights in my opinion. I got mine from lithuania on ebay, because the bulbs are only made in Germany and not really sold here. But they are brighter then the brightest sylvania(osram is the parent company) and have the life of the longest life sylvania bulbs. I just got a set for my jdm fogs and i cant wait to install them. They are pure white even in my old usdm headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico_192 Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 If i was to buy HID bulbs at the autoparts store would they work right? or do I need to buy the harnesses aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98sc00byGT Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 You need the ballast (harnesses) and hid bulbs for hids to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Trendz Inc. Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 plus in my opinion its very assholeish to be driving around with HID's in headlights not designed for it. Projectors have a cut off so you dont blind the other drivers coming at you, and drivers in front of you. But having a hid setup in stock reflectors is just going to bounce light all around your reflector and in everyones eyes while driving. I really recommend the Osram Nighbreaker bulbs if you want nice and BRIGHT bulbs(without having to get HID's and blinding anyone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Trendz Inc. Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 well then you risk getting pulled over by the police if you blind him driving toward you, or if your behind him. But i dont know, i like being courteous to other drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zues Marine Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 haha... you do have alot of lights.... how far ahead can you see? and how wide width depends on how i aim the lights on the bar, i had two aimed slightly outward in each direction to light up the sides, while the 8" Bosch fogs and jdm projectors lit the middle, and the low beam HIDs scorched the far ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grouch Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Well to me it just seems sketchy to put in HID bulbs w/o the proper HID housing. Just last week I was blinded by someone with HID bulbs in non HID housing, it's true the aim is bad. Not only that...they just look like shit...real tacky. Natural light isn't blue @_@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
