Blind in the rain? HID

I just put new 10k bulbs in my hid lamps and it looks awesome i can still see in the rain but everything is lighting up perfectly i dont know if someone had bad bulbs or unfocused lamp but i am telling you if your looking fo4r a fairly cheap mod then this is awesome. Looks great just hope the ballast dont go!!!!!

Rain

They are not really purple but a blue with a slight purple tint . I read numerous post that said dont go 8000 or above cause it will not display enough light. I am not saying its less or more light but just saying its not at all. Signs on the highway light up awesome to in a blue color. I also think it depends on which company you get them from too. This company has something in or on the bulb that protects it from burning the ballast but we will see.

its nothing having to do with the company. 10000k lights will give off a lot less light output than the stock 4200k bulbs. if you want good color with a good light output the most i would go is 6000k. anymore than that and you're asking for a ticket as well as hurting your vision. i ahve 7000k bulbs and i already feel that the light ouput generated is terrible. just my

SI cops are bad. Hope you don't get pulled over.
And in places like NYC you will not notice a big difference. Get your car on a dark road with no lights, then your in trouble.
I'd hate to be the car in front of you with all that blinding glare those 10K bulbs make.
