I have a 35w 8000k HID in projectors and not reflectors due to incorrect beam pattern and dazzling other people! I absolutely love them!
What this video is missing is a graphic on screen telling us which color temp is which. I almost didn’t even see it in the description but for deciding to comment about the missing info and stumbled upon it. Just trying to help!
Thanks mate. It's nice to see the actual colors of the different temps in practice. I definitely like the pure white of the 6000K lights the best. ;)
Word to the wise: ONLY use HID lights with projector type headlight assemblies. If you use these in assemblies designed for Halogen bulbs, you will blind other drivers making it extremely unsafe! This is due to the geometry of the assemblies and how the light bounces of them.
5000k is closer to pure white, 6000k is getting into the bluish category, or "bright white".
Yep idiots donl it all the time one day someone will crash into them.
Just to chime in here since I have recently been looking at replacing my stock HID projector headlight bulbs in my 2004 Lexus RX330 and doing a TON of research in the process, too many people are concerned with the color temp, and should be more concerned about the lumens (actual light output). Unless you are doing a show car and going for purely esthetics, you want to gain as much ROAD illumination as possible. Many people think that the higher the color temp the more light output. This is a big misconception. The higher the lumens, the more output. The higher the color temp, the lower the lumens. Optimal road illumination for low beam headlights is between 4300k and 5000k (3200 to 3400 lumens). 3500k = 3600 lumens, 6000k = 2900 lumens, 8000k = 2500 lumens, and 12000k = 2000 lumens. Most states have anything above 10000k set in the books as illegal because the light output is so small, it is dangerous due to insufficient road illumination. You might as well just drive with your lights completely off (and my personal opinion - the purple light looks idiotic as all H311 on a non-show car). Yellow fog lights are legal in all 50 US states, but each state may have detailed restrictions on HID vs. halogen fog lights (how yellow they can be). The catch is they MUST be BELOW the main headlights, and can not be used in the main headlight housing for your low beams. This is for street legal vehicles of course. The wavelength of the 3500k light allows for the light to penetrate fog (water particles suspended in air), unlike higher color temp bulbs where the light just reflects back to you off of the fog, hindering your sight even more. Many new vehicles come with yellow fog lights stock from the factory. Also, most states have made it illegal for aftermarket HIDs, although not all states enforce it (from-the-factory or OEM HIDs are 100% legal in all US states). They were primarily designed for off-roading. If you are vehemently worried about legality and getting in trouble, if your vehicle has reflector headlights, it is illegal to have HIDs in them PERIOD (even with the fake and crappy functioning bulbs that have the cutoff band around them. Tried them once and they suck!). Spend the extra $ for a projector retrofit kit for your headlight housing. Other drivers will thank you and it may just save someone's life. I flash on average about 6 people a day coming home in the evening from work. Half of them are using HIDs in reflector housings. The rest seem to think that it is ok to drive around the city with their high beams on. So, for me, I am going to go with the 5000K. I want the crisp white light with no yellowish tint, and I also get the best lumens for low beams. Oh, and stay away from the cheap eBay junk. Go with Sylvania or Philips brands. All the other brands out there are cheap China knockoff junk and don't always meet the stated specs. Not to mention they don't last nearly as long. Yes, you may be paying $50 or more per bulb (not per pair but PER BULB), but it is well worth the $. There are several sites out on the net that show you how to spot fake HID bulbs.
The Gatekeeper lmaooo you made my ass laugh unexpectedly thank you 😂😂😂
@ MATT G. Your wrong about running hid lights in a reflective housing. My 2006 infiniti g35 awd sedan came stock with hid bulbs in a reflective housing. They are not projector lenses hid housings either. If u ever bought hid bulbs they will either say D2S D2R or D2C. The D2S hid bulbs are for projector housings and should not be used in a reflective housing or it will blind other drivers. The D2R hid bulbs are to be used in reflective housings and not in the projector housings. The D2C hid are so called universal hid bulbs so they can be use in projector and reflector housings. But the D2C hid most of the time are cheap quality from what I heard. If u want the right hid bulbs for a projector housing buy the D2S kind. If u have the reflective kind buy the D2R kind. Now that doesn't mean any reflective headlight housing can use the D2R hid bulbs. The cars that run the hid bulbs with the reflective housing is designed for those bulbs. It u just take any reflector housing and put either bulbs I stated it might melt ur plastic. Just so u know
Thanks nice contrast. i will go with 5000k
So I guess we have to guess the wattage smh nice job buddy
it's probably common 35w...
I love the 3000k they have nice warmth to it and it is less glaring to other drivers.
Fuck that I put in 6000k in high beam all night with 55 jigawatts looks like the sun
i just got the 6000k installed in my car. because at night time the stock lights that went with the car i couldnt see well at night. so hoepfully its clearer and brighter.
why didnt the youtuber label the damn lights
All the times and colors are mentioned in the description. =)
***** what brand ballast and how many watts
Annotations.
could you add what watts that was used?
In Description🤔
Thank you sir for your video, very useful !!!
thanks for the video really appreciate your work
Our pleasure!
Hi, how are you powering these without the car? I'm looking into a special project where an hid bulb would be powered like a lamp, no automobile. Thanks!
What you recommend? I want colour closet to halogen bulb
Which would be best for my 2007 Dodge Charger SXT?
What color temperature is good for both veg but slightly more so for flower tryna grow tomatoes
will the 4300k be good even in the rain?
The 6k supposed to be blue? I wanna know if the blue of 6k has 35w or 55w.
I love it everyone is naming their cars when asking opinions... I have a bat mobile what bulb should I get?? I have a 1911 Sears Model P light delivery car. What color would suit it in 78 F weather?
5000K at 35W. Best bet in normal conditions period
Can you show me the links of this hid bulb"s ?
also from all 6 hid s
Which is the best hid bulb to use
me use CNLIGHT 4300k and 5000k on my bike
conclusion :
4300k best for rain and wet road
5000k best for dry road
next wanna try 6000k
Use infared 730nm Cree with 3500k to enhance plant growth on the side if the road not only will this be a greener option you would help save the trees one node at a time
i was looking at getting 100 watt 6000k hid spotlights what do you think i don't know if it is the best one's to get for my 4wd do a lot of night driving my 35 watt hid lights stopped working and want to upgrade i am not interested in led lights.
+paul water If you're looking for a spot light, something you can turn on and off and don't need for everyday driving, I'd so go with the brightest you possible could. 100w 6000k should be a nice addition to a 4x4!
If these are going in your regular headlights, do not go with 100w.
I ve put 3000k in my fogs and 5500k in bi xenon projector for both asthetic and crisp clear vision.
Glad to hear that my friend! Enjoy!
Hi HIDmaster, i drive a ford probe, and wanna up the headlight to a brand new xenon light set. Wanna know which temperature is the most closest to direct factory headlight on high-end cars, like SLR Mclaren or Audi R8. Thanks in advance :)
4300k is what the factory uses...however, because of the factory projectors, I've noticed the color of the 6000k looks more like that of a factory Audi/Mercedes
***** thanks, actually i'm between 6000K and 8000K.. is that really deep blue, the 8kK, or is it more "middle-of-the-day" blue sky ?
Technically, 4300k is the closest light to natural daylight, when it comes to HIDs. I usually say;
4300k - Mostly white with a little yellow
6000k - Pure white
8000k - Mostly white with a little blue
10000k - Mostly blue
Because most of AM kit say (so vendors says) : 5000k white - 6000k white with light blue tone - 8000k light blue with some deep blue tone - 10000k deep blue with some purple tone - 12000k purple ...
And some say exactly what you just write. So where is the truth ? i'm pretty lost actually :/
the only thing i'm sure, is the 4300k to 5500k Range of color, is too yellowed white for me..
But which one 6000k or 8000k >
Gotcha. I'm speaking from the experience with my HID kits over the years. Different companies use different components which could change the spectrum of color.
i have 12k and startup they go bluish purple and than eventually look white like 6k.could it be ballasts or Because i dont have a relay..when i bought the truck they werent as white
What brand did you put in? It's normal for them to start out SUPER blue/purple and then move closer to white as they heat up.
HIDLightReviews theyre kensus.12k...they were in the truck when i bought it. i Jsut put 10k opt7 in my fogs and theyre way bluer
That music made me not wanna watch this video, but I decided to suffer through it just to see the beautiful HID bulb colors Lol
I know, our apologies, lol!
I have a question with the 12k hid headlights hiw much of a voltage draw is there
+jackson jones It depends on the ballast, but they should draw somewhere between 7-8amps
HIDLightReviews ok
You should also mention that the lumens (output) goes down as the kelvin temperature goes up
6000k is indeed a really good one going for that when i get my new car
I like 8000k
And your holding them. Your fucking brave
Why do i feel that 6000k is brighter than 4300k?? Also, please let me know that after several use, will the bulb intensity diminish? Such as 4300k after several use will look more yellowish or 6000k will look more blueish. Please reply.
you feel it cause our eyes are made to see a range of light radiation, infrared and ultraviolets are the 2 extreme sides. between 4750K and 5800K is the daylight colour, with sun is more yellowish and with clouds is more green-blueish. A good lamp should have 5500 K to be almost at the midrange of daylight colour temperature. most of xenon has between 5000 and 6000K, but based on standard Philips lamps, i prefer 5000K instead 6000K because of better lighting in wet conditions. The changing colour during lifetime, is because they contains xenon, mercury and other metals to give the colour tone. during utilisation these metals react, till they cannot separate more from the mercury, and at last days of duty you will see almost from every lamp only a red purple radiation, this is a sign that the lamp is ready
I'm looking for the ones with a slight green color to them. Like some I would see in the 90s.
3000k
which xenon is better for driving?
Azhar Achu find 5k anything over 5k is waste of money.
Can someone tell me where it is the beste place to buy them on line please?
Here you go Maria : buyhids.online/
6000K is the prettiest, by far. But in terms of performance, which would you recommend? 4300K or 6000K?
You won't notice the difference between the two... Technically, 4300k performs better, but not enough for your eye to detect. In fact, your eye will probably think the 6000k is a better performing light
Thanks for the answer!
Na sua opinião qau incendeia mas?
did you have your white balance set to auto....
+clevs_is_me Everything was shot with an iPhone... no adjustment to white balance on there.
Now how in the hell we supposed to what light is what?

Can you get pulled over for yellow? I want that moreless as my avatar picture shows I'm going to be customizing my GT with either a black or gold primary and the opposite as the secondary. I don't know yet thou...
+BatStang805 The way the law is written is that, exterior, forward facing, lights can only be white or amber. 3000k HIDs are yellow, so technically, they can pull you over for them.
You could always do white low beams and yellow high beams. That way when you're out cruising or at a show, you could have yellow lights on... then for regular driving, you could use your white lights. Let me know if you need any kit recommendations.
+HIDLightReviews Thank you for the speedy reply! Yes the reason why is in the future as you can see in the picture I have a completely black mustang. What I would love to do is smoke out the rear and front lights to make it murdered, now here is something tricky that I doubt you'll know but I want to make my Mustang much more different then the average... Personally I live in Ventura, California and almost 99.9% of the time the police don't give to hoots if its on high beams or fog (I have pure black window tint on my entire car) which I think is important as more crime is committed elsewhere. I want to add some kind of HID kit that isn't over the top expensive and good quality of course! I have only regular and high beams as I don't have the bumper or Fog light application for my car... The reason I wanted to go with yellow is I want to make my accessories on the exterior and interior golden and the rest will be black, the purpose for this is I am taking a old Mustang look and making it new. Also for the tricky question... Do you know where I might be able to find LED offroad lights that would fit the grill of a Mustang? Reason is that I sometimes go through the Ojai Canyon at night and I want to be able to light it up and at the same time represent something different as I have personally never seen a mustang with LED offroad lights; the only thing is trucks that have applications. Anyways, if you could answer any of those questions that would be seriously useful. I was already told I would need to make a Custom housing unit that could hold that type of lights. I just want something different is all, thanks again!
+HIDLightReviews True, most factory "yellow" fog lights are technically illegal yet they are dot approved. I had a sheriff write me a ticket for actual Amber fog lights and I won in court handily.
+HIDLightReviews that depends of your state or province. friend of mine has green hids in his jeep. i got purple in my ms3. been given no trouble
Thank you Boosted Cheo I just don't want shit to go down I have straight 100% tint and I had 1 out of many police bother me but its always nice to be sure you know?
what looks the best in a 2005 cadillac srx and is legal?
4300k-6000k is my recommendation. These colors won't draw any unwanted attention
HIDLightReviews 3000k is yellow or green ?
8K or 10K ?
what can be best for my nissan 350z can some one help me out?? 😓
From a color perspective, 4300k or 6000k is the best. I like 6000k because it gives a very crisp look to the lights.
Thats what i just ordered 6k. And angel eyes
Crap so buying 10K HID Halo Kit for my Jeep Grand Cherokee 2001 , wasn't the right choice?? My paint color is a Deep Blue so i figured 10 K bulbs would be an awesome mod for my Jeep.
+camocorndog 10k is definitely blue... we're you going with blue because your Jeep is blue?
what is the differnwve between the 35w and 55w?
I´m refering to the xenon bulbs when using 55w ballasts
55w pros: they´re brighter
55w cons: their lifespan is shorter than 35w,
their color fades faster than 35w,
they produce more heat in your light housing.
Cheers.
chris lopez - basically the same thing yosoylavergavoladora said. I don't recommend 55w HIDs because I've had issues with them generating so much heat that wires have melted and housings have melted. I try to stay away from them.
I will say, we did have a good experience with the 55w GTR Lighting kit: hidlightreviews.com/gtr-lighting-hid-kit-review/
***** I have indeed that problem too (the melted wires, with a cloud of white smoke...), but, it seems more convenient to change the input cable for a thicker one, than change to 35 watt again... just my point of view
Mauro Diaz I haven't have any issues with my 55 watt kit from Innovited. I use my HID's alot! (5-6 days a week mostly night driving) and they work like a charm. Common problem with HID's in my case is the passenger side never wanting to light up. Had this issue with 35watt also
Doof3rproductions that's not a rule about 55 watt hid... it's a "rare problem", but it happens, about the thing with the passenger side, check the grounding on that side of the vehicle
whats the deepest blue i can get?
10k or 12k
I want my Lights white as possible. So what color should I buy?
6000k - Do you know what bulb number you need?
buyhids.online/collections/all/bulb-number
Yes i need a h13 for headlights and a 9006 for fog lights.
Cool. Let me know if you are all set... or if you need any assistance with a kit. Glad to help
Ok 6000k is what you recommend?
Yes. 6000k is what I run in my car. Perfectly white, nice a crisp look, great visibility
the first and second is the better.
Anyone know the power of the ballasts used? Thanks a million!$! 35/55 watt
These are all 35w ballasts
+HIDLightReviews Thanks, I have an 03 Accord with 35 watt 6000K but don't seem bright enough. looking forward to 50 watt 5 or 6k, thanks again! 💡💥💡💥💯
Best Xenon are 4300 and 6000K !
8000k is still acceptable. Those clowns with 10000k or 12000k just look ridiculous
Best is 6500K
6000 K good ser
how do I adjust the colors on mine
You can't adjust colors on HID bulbs. You just have to replace the bulb
High Intensity Discharge=HID
Are those fairy lights
How do I change the colors? Is there an app or something???
You change bulb.
Each bulb has a kelvin rating (K) which directly affects the colour output, this video shows the difference.
Aero An app for changing the colors?! 😂😂😂
Do you have a driving licence??? 😨😨😨
3000k very good in to fog 😁
Theres 3000k halogen bulb aclled fog breaker.
Somebody knows if 3000k is legal for use in headlights?
Depends on where you live, tbh. And potentially what sort of headlight housing you have on your vehicle.
@@Hidlightreviews Thank you my friend.
so which one of them H I D is the brightest ???
I think 6k are the brightest
+Oba henry 4300k - 6000k is the brightest light. When you start adding color to the light, the beam does not travel as far.
ok thank
6000k will be
5000k is the best though. 55w 5000k.
10000k ✌️
4300k hids will be the best for driving on the road that's a known fact... over that is just for the looks
Had no problem with 6k, everything is lit up.
What's the difference in watts
+Bruh Bruh No difference... it's a 35w ballast with all different color bulbs.
35w or 55w ballast?
35w ballasts xXTHECARGUYXx
Chào ad bóng như này giá bao nhiêu ạ
O.K. I'm stupid I guess,.but what am I supposed to see here with these bulbs being lit ? Which colour is what ?
Reg Sparkes That's a perfect command. We don't know which one is what? Can you explain all respectively?
Take a look at the description... It lists the colors and times they appear.
+HIDLightReviews Thanks for the video, well done. If you know what ballist was used as far as watts would be very helpful. Regardless thanks again for this helpful video. P.S. are there any kelvin missing in your video? thanks again!
+Marcus Mizerak These are all 35w ballasts... And regarding missing kelvin temps, different companies have varying temps, like 5000k. This video should give you a good idea of all the most common colors available
What brand are these lights?
Kerri Thomas The brands vary...
+HIDLightReviews - Why wouldn't you do the test will all the same manufacturer bulb. Some manufactures 6000k look different that other 6000k. Inconclusive test. Thanks though.
3000k, 4300k, 6000k, and 8000k came from my inventory. I don't recommend or sell 10k+ so I had to use different brands for those.
+HIDLightReviews nice video ..i recently purchased a pair of replacement bulbs 4300k 55w to replace my 6000k 55w but the 4300k looks more like a bright white (5000k) rather than that of a halogen bulb ...when driving in rain the white light is useless ....my question is ...would the 3000k bulb be a better colour match to that of a halogen bulb 55w.....
+Richard S It sounds like you're trying to achieve a slightly yellow hue to your headlights. If that is the case, you definitely want to go with a 35w 4300k. If you do 3000k, you will have a noticeably yellow light. What is the year/make/model of the vehicle?
8000k 12v 35w price
why am I hearing the Watchdogs OST in this video's music?
Nhiệt 10.000 nha
Is 8000k a good brightness for my Honda civic ?
terrible. 4500 to 5000 is ideal
Yes
+Jerry Gartrell i've tried 4300k (the original) 6000k and 8000k. so far 6000k is the best
xavierlert by a colour guaranteed 5000k bulb. I would buy OPT7 5000k. Domt buy cheap chinese ones. If you go 8000k ots too blue and certainly not road legal in the U.K.
+juan def buy* not by* lol
What about 30k?
+Edgar Baez Eek... what about 30k? No one actually buys 30k kits so it seemed irrelevant to add. Trying to work smarter here. HAHAHA
+HIDLightReviews
Well, obviously it sells. Otherwise folks wouldn't sell 30k at all. Also, too many factors in your review to make this a helpful review. Nice try though. Good day.
+Edgar Baez It's not so much a review as it is a look at the different color HIDs. People who buy 30k HIDs usually purchase for show purposes...not functionality. 30k is so saturated with color, that it's the least efficient HID color you could buy. So, yes... there are probably people who want purple headlights, but if you're installing them on a daily driver, it's not wise. #justsaying
+HIDLightReviews
Did you just place a hash tag on youtube? lmao. You're one of those people... wow.
+Edgar Baez Figured you could look it up as you're trolling the web. peace
8000k legal??
+P3ppz ! Depends on the state... Best to stay with 6000k to be safe. If you want to push it, just a little bit... run 8000k. I have run 8k on my cars and never gotten a ticket (in CA)
+HIDLightReviews Thanks, Good xenon 6000k How Much ?
+P3ppz ! i run 10000k right now. i just blew a bulb and am gonna go to 3000k. maybe one day i wont do the extreme colors but i have only been pulled over when they went out. Mississippi also has no laws against them.
How come my 6000k are white and not blue ?
+P3ppz ! - 6000k has always been white with the kits I've used.
I wanted white and ended up with light blue. Was even better , street was bright and neon looking. Wish I remember the number. Was years ago. Going for hid again. It's probably 8k. Hid lit the street a mile away. Every street sign glowed..didn't have projector with cut off, know wa mean
Gak ada keterangannya tu
is 4300k legal?
Check your local laws.
stick to 5k

Нихуя не понятно, но очень интересно
HI BHAVIN I HAVE 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY H11 BULB SIZE ABOUT TO ORDER 8000K HID KIT DDM TUNING ALOT OF MY FRIENDS TOLD ME 55 W BALLAST WHAT YOU THINK
Personally, I stay away from 55w... Your call though.
Ok
I should have elaborated... I had a 55w kit on a Suburban that got too hot and melted the factory wiring. It fried the circuit board and was a nightmare to fix... The little bit of extra brightness has not been enough to make me use 55w again.
My cousin 6k with 55watt on his acura
It was a month ago has no issues with it
Anything past 5K is a rice factory
more like a disco lol
Agree.
6 k is perfect
Miguel Rivera If you like rice, then yeah it is.
Some kid has 10k bulbs in my town, they are pure purple and 100% useless.
what the fuck is what???
Look at the description
HID’s suck they destroyed my fog lights they actually melted and I had to buy a new light housing. Go Led
I'm guessing the first one is the 8000k. Since there is no explanation of anything throughout the entire video. And the title doesn't even have enough explanation. Horrible video. Waste of time.
