I'm going to try to include pics of everything that's going on and keep you guys updated with pics. I need an excuse to use my new point n shoot anyway.

The first thing I actually got installed was the 6000k HID kit(HIDExtra.com). I've been stock piling my other suspension/exhaust parts to have them all installed at the same time and I'll update those when it's completed.

 

Are you sure those are 6000k? They definitely look like 12000k or higher... VERY purple.

 

The camera actually picked them up differently than my eyes. I thought they had a slight pink tint in person.

 

Stockpiling parts, you sound like me

 

wow those r crazy purple output and they really don't look any brighter just coloured

 

The photos don't do the color justice. I might mess around with my camera to see if I can correct the color capture.

Also as far as the brightness comment. The comparison pics are vs Ultras which are basically the brightest direct replacement bulbs you can get. If I get bored I might put the stock bulbs back in to show.

 

if its slightly pink doesnt that mean its hotter then 6000k? i thought 6000k was a slight blue color

 

can't wait to see everything put together

 

According the HIDExtras graph 6000k is supposed to be diamond white... I'll quote the descriptions.
Also note, the comparison bulbs in the pics are the Silverstar ultras I had in which say cook at 4100k according to the packaging.

 

Weird color associations for that place then. Must get their bulbs someplace weird... As far as I always remembered it was:
3000k - yellow fog
4300k - oem hid (same color as sylverstar)
5000k - pure white
6000k - light blue tinge
8000k - blue
10000k - deep blue
12000k - purple

 

Cameras do a poor job of color representation when shooting something very bright in a dark setting. Maybe try checking your white balance. Most digital cameras only have a setting for sunlight, shade, overcast, tungsten and florescent light temperatures. You would have to manually adjust your white balance for something like HID's.

Those HID's look like they have some pretty extreme "hot spots". Are they that noticeable when driving?

 

i have 6000k's and they are hyper white with a hint of blue, its perfect.

 

idk what kinda 6000k kit they sold you if it showed up with and pink or purple in it ha but yea better camera and lets see

 

pink is even hotter than purple i believe.
on my last car with actual factory xenons one headlight turned pink before burning out completely, my car had pink eye for like a week it was awesome looking, lol

 

the HID's seem less bright than the ultras. you can tell just by comparing how the car in the far far background is seen in both bottom pics.

 

ya the silverstars look better

 

The HIDs are def brighter the silverstars are actual stock replacements so the beam throw is better. They have better coverage.

 

I messed with my camera some and god the color cleaned up some. This is much more accurate of the color that the above pics.

Turn sound off if you don't want to hear the car beep for 30 seconds.

You can see how they look different than the pics. The settings on the camera had some type of low light color correction turned on which fucked it up. I stripped all my camera settings down to try to get a more true color. The video captures the true color much more closely and the lights are just every so slightly more pink IRL. You can see them heat up right past the pure white and keep going and burn at some weird pink hued color (or at least it looks like that to my eyes)

 

that looks way to pink/purple for 6k, prolly not a lot of usable light in those compared to actual 6k's
and pink is very bad, looks funny as hell tho

 

That aint no 6000K kit, both my 6000K kits show up blue/white on camera, not pink/purple

But hey for $60 who gives a

 

^ The guy at HIDextra at least seems to be pretty serious about customer satisfaction. I think it's because it's new and he wants some good reviews posted.... anyway hes sending me a Return Auth. and is going to send me new bulbs.

 

straighten ur headlites man

 

i got a 60 dollar 6k kit and it was one of the best investments ive made.

 

NEW MOD!
Front corners/Parking lights LED
Sorry I don't have a good night shot I had to shut the door of the garage since I did them mid day.


The screw sleeve on the passenger side turn signal assembly was broke off took me like half an hour to get that screw back in.

Bulbs used:
WLED-X5 LED Wide Angle LED Bulb - Cool White WLED-CW5 0.95
from superbrightleds.com

 

Hopefully installation will be underway soon.

 

you're as bad as me, posting pics of all the uninstalled parts I stopped doing it because I kept getting bitched at

 

I should have everything on in under two weeks if all goes as planned.

 

that seems like 12k HIDs.... and i can't wait to see how your car turns out with everything on. i wish i had all that stuff in my garage.

 

dam... how much did u pay for all that?

 

damn Josh u go boy...i dont care how many "....k" those HIDs r....they look sickkk..and ur future plans...looks fab. big ups to u man

 

Around $1750-2000 a few things aren't pictured such as HIDs, some LED bulbs, and the wheels/tires were free I only had to order 1 wheel because one was bent.

 

I mailed the HID bulbs back the guy is going to test them to see if I just got the wrong bulbs or a fucked up set of bulbs. I'm shooting for something more pure white to go with the cool white LEDs up front.

 

BTW for anyone considering it I would HIGHLY suggest the LED conversion on the front corners/parking lights. It's makes a huge difference in the looks department when you're rolling with the parking lights on. The time/cash investment is pretty much non existent as well.

 

unless you're me and have been through 4 sets of corner bulbs, then it costs time and money

 

id never invest in led corner lights again...

 

Lol why not? Did you see my pics? Looks soooo much more clean.

 

Got me beat there, some of my parts I've had for YEARS and aren't installed yet

 

Talked to a buddy of mine that works at a shop. Hes gonna do the work personally to save me some labor costs wewt.

 

My wheel showed up today and I'm dropping off the car tonight!

Be ready for a MASSIVE update ..... soon.

 

those lights are awesome..love the purple tint to them
