I'm looking into getting away from the white and going to maybe a blue-ish purple-ish tinted bulb...any suggestions?

depending on your budget, you could get cheap ones from ebay (6000K~8000K) or piaa's hid replacement bulbs.

i'm willing to spend around 150...i want good ones. I'm leaning towards the blue-ish ones.

TacoBellSauce

u want blueish ones, go with 8000-8500k
anything higher will be purpleish

Scottys11

do you know of any good places to buy them...or even the cost?

TacoBellSauce

u can look on ebay
or u can check out HIDworld.com, they have them for $90/pr
if u wanna buy them and get em installed at a shop, theres many in LI

thanx i really appreciate it

Top bulbs cost ~ $100 a piece... just FYI. You know you'll be losing a LOT of light output by going to that high of kelvins, right?

Really now... Safety First, this is not a good mod. The only thing you get out of it is aesthetics.

hyun

but how oh so pretty they look

Yes I recommend sticking with a good brand like KAIXEN or Phillips. KAIXEN's 6500k D2C HID upgrade bulbs are extreme white with a hint of purple. And they are $150 shipped.

yeah bro...

I seriously do not suggest going that route...

the light output difference is night and day

there's a reason the OEM is 4100k, cuz it is closest to sun light, also reflects best off objects for your safety, but if you go blue, somethings won't be very easy to see, and it just makes the HIGH end acura TSX look like a ricer...with them 8000k HIDs that puts no light on the ground

if you haven't notice, due to the projector housing's reflections, there is a clear blue line across the cutoff of your HID beam, at some angles, it looks VERY VERY BLUE to other cars, so it's definitely not just white

just my


God bless

Don't. Safety first, styling second.

Off topic but what about fog lights...any suggestions?

Reach

trust me don't get them i have 8000k on my 06 tsx and it sux balls can't barely see anything so i switch back to the 5000k

Scottys11

would it pay to move up a little bit instead of going all out for the 8000k's or should i just keep them stock?

6000k is perfect if you want little more bluer than stock. 8000k is too blue and you won't see shit in night.

try this one. i have them and they are pretty good.

Scottys11

how much did they run you?

approx 50% off retail. $250

bluesolara

my suggestion...

get a hid kit for your fogs...3000k!
it's crazy yellow...so that will emphasize your blue/white light even more

keep it OEM, TRUST me...you don't see them lambos and ferraris and bimmers and aston martin's changing their lights...

so don't change yours

The Philips Ultinons (5800K) are the only replacement HID bulbs Id even consider if I were going for extra style points.

Scottys11

which fog bulb will match my headlights...
