why do 6000 k's cost more??

anybody got some side by side shots of both, i found some 8k's for only 80 bucks but at that price i'm thinkin they are too cheap to be good

 

both of those are wayyyy to bright the best is 4100k to 4300k

 

4100 and 4300 have the best light output...anything over those are for looks. However...6000\8000 are still 10X brighter than normal lights

 

why waste money on that shit?

 

Here's 6000k Osram

 

chaptorial those look great. where did you buy them from, how much, and was it just a bulb swap. thanks

 

For real!! Where did you buy them from bro? Let us know please!!

 

those pics aren't of chaptorials car.

 

ok matt whose car is it

 

that's peiqinglongs' car.

 

Yeah should of said that.

 

Just a quick side question and sorry about the hijack but, what is everyones feelings on the reflectors inside the light housing. Because of my latest accident I need new headlight housings meaning they have to be re-cleared I was thinking about just breaking out those reflectors instead of upgrading the bulbs. With my windshield being tinted I need as much help as I can get.

 

so you want be able to see better but you tinted your winsheld??

 

Wait you mean the reflector that covers the bulb?

I think removing that would make the beam really direct and you'd be blinding people left and right.

 

Yes, basically. Having the windshield tinted makes just as big of a difference as tinting the rest of the car, plus I havent re-adjusted the headlights since the cars been dropped.

And I cant see any difference in blinding people just because the reflector has been removed compared to getting 8000K bulbs

 

Hey chap, were those pics taken right when the lamps were turned on, or were they already "warmed up"?
Makes a big difference in the color ya kno?

 

Very true it makes a huge difference. However thats not my car its peiqinglongs'.

 

because i like to change shitin my car and i was lookin to buy my self a chritmas present

 

save your money for a better mod. if you were going to upgrade your high beams to HID that would be one thing, but swapping out your HID's for a set that are a different color? i think you could spend your money more wisely, especially if you plan on running quicker than me in the spring.

just my opinion.

 

The first one is when it first lights up...i think...don't remember. The other 2 is after it is already lit up. The 2nd is what I see everyday when driving. The third, reason is so blue is I happened to catch it just at the right angle.

DO NOT remove the reflector. My friend and I have done numerous tests, and you do not increase any visibility by remove the reflector. you only serve to give further reason for people to want to ban HIDs. If visibility is your concern, do not upgrade to 6000k.

 

Here's your comparasion shot after warmup:

First car is a 01 TL with stock, second one is mine with 6000k Osram, third one is a 02 TL-S with stock, and fourth one is a 01 TL with 6000k Philips.

 

wow.... i like the difference... how much is this gonna set me back?

 

Now you got me interested too. Where'd you get them from peiqinglong and were they a bitch to install?

 

the only thigk left for me to do on my car is the unichip and install the ur pulley that i hjave has for over 2 months

anything like the 3.5 or blower is outta my range right now

 

I got them from a dood in Taiwan...and yes the bulbs are all authentic. I think his email was jus4bulbs@yahoo.com, I have to check to be sure. I paid $240 shipped overnight for my Osram.

 

Not too bad to install...first time is the scariest .
