12000k HID kit

[95gsx4g63]

i just installed a 12000k HID kit in my 2g eclipse, i think it looks amazing. quick question though, i caint figure out to reposition the bulbs, i could only figure how to turn the bulbs left and right not up and down. i am running them on stock headlights.

thanks for the help

Wow... 12000k is Wayyyyyyyyyy overkill IMO

I wouldn't say it's overkill. I'd just say very purple and not much light output.

Yeah 12k is way crazy..

Are you asking how to adjust the headlights? If so a quick search would have found.

you are right about the light output. they are not nearly as bright as i thought they would be but i didnt want to get the blue or white ones, they're way too popular here and i wanted to be a bit different. and thanks for the help

Just make sure you aren't blinding oncoming drivers and that the very purple tint is legal. I'm not sure how Canada is with that type of stuff. I personally like my headlights to be more for function and less for looks.

[95gsx4g63]

Yeah my buddy has a set on his civic... I don't think they look too good. But you can always tell its him from a mile away!

You drive with those at night?

Holy f*cking glare Batman! I'd be pissed if you pulled up behind me.

12k is actually a lot less 'bright' than a standard 4500k HID kit. You need to look at the knobs on your headlights and adjust your light level DOWN! I run HID's and love them. Very minimal glare and doesn't blind anyone after I adjusted it.

That's nothing, the lifted f-350s or chevy 3500s are the worst.

But, anyway Ultra Violet looks bad ass!

god 1200k the visibility on those must suck. i have 8k and wish i went 6k. ohh well yeah what he said i hate when i see lifted f350 with 10k and up in the headlights fog lights and every other light they have.

 

[MountainDew]

Dude those are badass. I'm going to get a set for my bike.

 

[mavisky]

I run an 8000k in my Expedition. Projector beams with a cutoff though so it's not too terrible. I also run a 75w bulb in the fogs to go along with them. Pretty good lighting even though my housings aren't the best.

 

[BoostedinSoFla]

IMO 6000K is the best when installing those Cheapo Ebay HID conversion kits in your stock headlight housings. I'll be doing a retrofit pretty soon anyway.

 

[Black94DSM]

I have a 6000k kit in my daily 1gb car. I kind of wish I went with the 4300k kit. The glare isn't horrible, but it deffinatly could be better. I have yet to be flashed by others.

 

[spinninfwdlaser]

I think those purple lights look sexy. They looks quite bright, and really stand out from all of the same yellow and white lights on the road.

 

[Locke]

"White lights are way too popular", that's great.


The problem is that is putting looks over function and safety. That colour is on the bleeding edge of human vision. Thats not mentioning the fact that it looks like the HID kit was installed in reflector housings, hence the unsightly and equally dangerous glare.

It seems counter productive to me. HID = more lumens; 12,000k = less visibility.

But hey, I'm not driving around you in Canada.

 

[95gsx4g63]

there actually isnt as much glare as the picture looks like. i have had the kit on for a few weeks now and only got flashed about three times.

heres another pic with a lot less glare

Three times in a few weeks should tell you something...
