i got 6000k and they are much brighter than 10000k

the lower you go the more the light will become like natural light

when you go higher like 8000k 10000k you get more of the blue in the light

ill show u mine tonite if you wana see them

Ive got 8000k(blue tinge in it) in my R33 and my mate has 6000k(white natural light) in his R32. His are a bit brighter than mine, but the light in mine is a more intense beam. Besides, i think by law you are only allowed up to 6000k, not a 100% sure though. Ive actually seen 14000k on a XR6, it is a really deep purple.

i've got 4300k, pure white light. 6000k is white with a slightly blue tinge. My friend has 10k in his accord euro, it's almost purple. Rice factor is high but visibility-wise, they're useless.

go for 6000k max, the higher kelvin temp you go, the more blue you get, the more your eyes strain and you fatiuge. anything above 6k is just a waste

Putting HID's into a car that came out of the factory without HID's is illegal. Doesn't matter what temperature the globes are. They're illegal. Even those who have retrofits. Without cleaners and some balancing thing I don't know and engineering, it's illegal.

Don't go for anything above 6000k in my opinion. 6000k is blue/rice enough for me. If I bought another kit, it would definitely be 4300k.

Here are some photos to compare from standard lights to 6000k HID kit lights.

Look at those hot spots, glare and shocking cut offline.

Edit:

Here are some pictures to show you how good some retrofitting lights can be.

i have 600k in my 33 but now i wanna get a set for my highbeam. ehehe the highbeams looks crap at the moment.

[femno]

I had 10000k and they were sweet as, could see heaps, now ive got 8000k in the p/s after one blew, and i dont think theyre as good, theyre just blueish, and i can see further on my d/s which still has the 10000k in it.

the 10000k are slightly purple which goes with my m.n.p which is sick, you have m.n.p as well so go 10000k too!l!

You know u want too!

is it really illegal to have HIDs? coz same as many other people, i thought your allowed up to 6000k.

can anyone confirm this?

[adam-__-]

It's illegal, but what modification to your car isn't these days...

Page 2, there's something about HID lights. Pretty sure there was something else, but that's what I found first so...

if you want to hurt your eyes while driving, then go right ahead and go higher than 6000K...

now that I have a nice camera I'll take some pics at night of my retrofit

Apparently even the factory ones are illegal in R33's, they're supposed to be self-levelling and one other requirement that I can't recall

[Ronin 09]

the other requirement is cleaning via washing jets

That looks simply fantastic!!!

Does anyone know if this is possible/available for an R33?

[adam-__-]

^^^ It's all custom made. Pretty much like what Ronin did on his 32 in the tutorial.

It'll be pretty expensive to make it look like the ones above though.
