HID conversion,

[Benn]

Why will they? Never heard of the bluer the darker...

Got mine from nickyboy on mig, They where from the us.. from japan..
All in english, full wiring loom, everything needed to use, warm up quicky.
Very good, hi/low kit.. but they wont click on anymore to high, think the relay (huge one) has stoped working (after a year+)

the higher the k rating the less light, lumin, it actually emits. k rating is the colour temperature 6500k - 8000k being very close to pure white. I will soon be doing the same.

My headlamps are awesome even with my decent philips halogens but the HID effect is calling my name.

Seen some real nice uk ebay items for around 60quid, Bi-Xenon with a slim ballast.

edit. oops just read RJ's post and looks like I've written what he's said... FAIL

[Benn]

Never heard that before. Just though the K rating was all to do with the temp.

Benn-Side by side pics, 6000k gives out more light than 8000k(8000 is just about when the light is starting to get into the blue range)

Most OE cars fitted with hids have 4800k or thereabouts

6k FTW.

I'm looking for a set soon.

Jack-Re: the beam pattern
I'll soon find out how legal they are when mine goes for mot in 2 week

But the pattern isn't as good as standard bulbs, bits of light tend to get thrown "out" from the normal pattern. But no ones ever flashed me or anything to say there bliding them.... So all is good

[Nova_Tek]

yeh K is the colour temp. higher the colour temp the bluer/purpler the light becomes but less light is actually given hence why Im likely to go for 6500k.

Either way though they look sexy and actually give out light. Im currently driving around in my wifeys Yaris and it has horrid cheapo bulbs that look very yellow.. yuck

Oh right, didnt know that at all. But then again i got them for the clean, clear white/blue light...

Ad you might just pass, i set mine up onthe light machine and thy are at the right level. But the patton is a bit all over the place..

Gonna remember the bulbs make the patton.. but nova glass does.. so theres two pattons so its a bit all over the show.

Generally everyone says that. Fingers crossed at MOT, worst case scenario; spare pair of H4's in the glove box?

[Benn]

Mine are set quite low... Prob a bit too low now, only get flashed if i'm out on dark back roads..
