Got My 34...and Need Xenons

[SS8_Gohan]

mad34 - did you get the 8500k globes?? got any pics by any chance?

um... i think the Phillips info might be in the Vic member section....

[mad34]

i got the 6000k. 8500k is very blue my car is a cop magnet as it is. Also 8500k can cause poor visabilty in wet weather apparently??. I was going to get the 8500k, but i decided against it. 8500k will definately look heaps better though.

guys as for those phillips kits i wouldnt bother with them they are too expensive. seriously the kaixen ones are really good and only $400.

I dont think they are adr either i think they are illegal no matter what.

to be honest, i dont care if they are ADR compliant or not, but i do worry about them over insurance. how would they take it when my car gets stolen or is involved in a collision. its insurance which buggers me, lol. unless theres a way around it.

i doubt the insurance company will know or care if you have xenons mate. Well worth having them though huge improvement over halogens

and ss8 no pics i might take some tonight though. 6000 is heaps blue as it is

lol, what if they find the ballast ? ahh, theres soo many things i want to do, but i cant. if my car was worth only 15grand, then fair enough, worth the risk. but as the car gets into the mid 30grand, then risking becomes a problem.

oh, can u take pics of your xenon from outside ? coz since u said they wouldnt notice it, i wanna know how it compares to stock(blub etc).

[mad34]

they look very different to halogens mate. very different. Hide the ballast in a good spot and if you ever have an accident as if they will specifically look for xenons. They would just look for obvious mods like no cat or iilegal exhaust intercooler computer, not headlights. Well i hope so anyway.

i will get a pic soon.

4300K is factory xenon temps, and is the same colour as daylight.

Any higher and you get glare and it will strain your eyes.

The bluer it is the more your eyes will be strained.

I am of the opinion that xenon technology is there to improve your night vision. The 'blue' xenons don't actually 'help' in the long run, but are a hindrance to your night driving.

But hey, knock yourself out with your 8500K lights... you'll be more likely to risk a defect too.

I'm going to retro fit factory 4300K projectors and globes to my 32 rather than a plug-in globe replacement, to ensure I get the right light pattern and cut-off light lines. Pics when i get around to it...

6000 k is pretty good no problems with vision.
