You heard it right. I have been hearing that our ballasts can't handle anything pass 6000K for the longest so I decided to test it out for myself. I know a couple of people claiming that they have 8000K or even 10K HIDs on their rides but no pics were ever showned. So I went out and bought myself 10K HIDs from autolamp.
Now before all you guys go and bitch about losing light output, I already know about that.:thefinger To be honest, the light output did not go down as much as I thought. It is much bluer now than the 6000Ks I had on before and it looks great. Don't worry, I still have my 6000Ks just in case if anything goes wrong.
Last but not least, I would like to make a shout-out and a thank you to Mr. from this board.
He took time out to install the bulbs for me. Since I bought the D2S (which is for projectors), he had to dremel off a piece to make it fit in the D2R socket. I was going to change my fogs also but the fucking brand new bulbs decided not to work.
Anyways, Dan did a great job and I would recommend him to anybody who wants something done to their ride.
Ok, enough talk. Here are some pics:
10K during the daytime

I agree with what Mr. said even though i have not seen them in person. Pics do not tend to give HID any justice u have 2 see them in person. That being said they prob do look really sweet.
Black shadow please keep us posted on the performance of these bulbs...
If they hold up well this will be one of my next mods.

lol Sorry I meant to say as the Kelvin rating (K) goes up the less the actually light (lumes) output there is on the road BUT when looking at it they look more blue and brighter.
I am not sure why they look brighter on the ground then.
