i m looking into a hid conversion kit...just wondering what most people usually go for as far as 4000k 6000k 6500k and so on.

from what i know, the lower the brighter with less color (less blue or purple)...so 4000k will be bright white, 6000k is more of a blueish color.

thx

thats correct...4300K would be optimal....

Actually, 4000k would be tinted yellow. I have a Phillips rebased bulbs and they are 4300k and have a glare of yellow on them. 6000k I think looks best, though output will not be as great as the 4300k with lighting, but I'm a ricer and it looks better in my opinion.

Here man, a Kelvin scale chart, shows what color light:



4,200 is white, 4,300 is just about white.. in that range youll be making the best light output.

I would recommend the McCulloch 6000k kit. They give off a really nice crisp white color.

i m not doing a retro...just gettin a h4 conversion kit from xenon depot...the 43k they offer is actually cheaper than the 60k...for some reason color is more expensive than actual brightness...not sure why tho

u need to remember also that the bulbs degrade over time and deviate away from the usable 4300k towards the higher K ranges...thus u see alot of older vehicles that were equipped with HID's early on with purplish lights now....im only referring to the reflector types...

You guys that started with 6,000K were looking to see that blue hue right?
