hey guys, my projector headlights are very wierd, i went to install my 8k HID's and there was no place for the bulb to plug into, it was like the bulb was molded into the whole casing and the wires were the only thing hooked up to the back, these were bought off ebay, anybody have any idea how to take the normal halogen out of the projector?

 

I don't remember off the top of my head. Post up a picture of the back of the light and I can tell you.

 

thanks, but i got them off, and im going to be putting in some 10k HID's,

 

Your original post says 8000k HIDs.

Make sure to post pics. I still have yet to see some projectors on these truck with HIDs in them.

 

x2!

 

alright i will defenitly post pics, i got them off and there just a simple H3 bulb, im looking at an HID kit for 88 dollars, and they are 10 k's so they will be bright as hell, but i have to work for a little while to build up some more funds for the truck, but when i get them i will post pics,

 

Assuming you're talking about 10,000k, not really. After 6000k you start to lose lumens (usable light) Your lights will be dark blue/purple and you wont be able to see anything if it's dark and rainy. Stick with 4300k-6000k if you want bright usable light.

 

my buddy has 10000k HIDs in his projectors, and my other friend has 6k's and the 10k's are way brighter and make driving at night waybetter, and ive drivin both and the 10k's are better, but thats on projectors, idk bout normal lights, and the blue makes driving at night easier because it lights up the road to a point where the eyes can function better, and yes i did research, i have a close family doctor and he also said that the really bright blue is easier for the human eye to comprehend, rather than the normal yellowish color produced by halogens, but thats just my opinion, the 10k's are the same price as the 6k's and 8 k's, and they arent purple at all, the 12k's are the purple,

 

Really? Because 6000k is closer to sunlight, while 10,000k is closer to a black light. Which one would you rather see with? Next time it's raining take both the truck with 6000k and the truck with 10,000k out for a drive. Let me know what you think then.

Sources?

 

Yeah, they say sunlight (natural light) is actually close to 4500-4700K. Don't get why they just don't make that color?.......

 

my 6000k are really bright and light the road up great. 10000 will be pretty blue where 6000 are like a really really light blue

 

Here are some color charts for you. Notice how much more glare the 5K bulb has than the 12K?.....

if you read it it says a doctor, hes actually an eye doctor, and has done numerous tests on the light the eye is more sensitive to and the light that the eye is more "comfortable" in, and these 10k's are not close to the black light at all, the 12k's are closest but are still way far from a black light, and even if the 6k's are closer to sunlight that is worse, have you ever tryed looking outside in the winter when theres snow and you just came from a dark place? same concept here, its easier to see with a light that is when driving in the dark its going to be easier to see with a light that is still just as bright but is closer to dark, that makes it easier for the eye to adjust to the the light intensity, therefor the 10k's are a better light, but it all depends on the company making them, theres also different opinions on what is a better light, or what is brighter, but to me i like the fact that these will not only impact driving at night, but is also easier to drive with. thats just my opinion, so feel free to think otherwise,

 

I want to just find some 4300K HIDs for my L heads...that's the temp most OE HID setups use. It's not blue and not yellow really. 5000K max is what I'll go with.

 

Actually, most of the BMWs, Benzs, and those type cars you see have somewhere between 4300k and 5k in their's. I'm hoping to order by 5k bi-xenon bulbs next week.
