but actual blue and its annoying as shyt. I Know its illegal it has to be.

 

 

For show use only.

 

they are on the road. I seen 2 of them lastnight

 

The will catch them eventually and give them some tickets for the lights and then they will give them tickets for all of the other crap that they have on the car.

 

Some newer cars with HID have a major blue tint- they are running 6500k or 8000k bulbs
When HID thats ok- but aftermarket bulbs like that are bogus
I worry- my hi beam bulbs are blue when off- and the reflector plate behind them makes it look like ~ you know who~ with blues comming up on you~

I didnt notice the effect until everyone was suddenly nice on the freeway and giving way all the time- bonus!!
ahh No Sir-those lights- they were on the car when I bought it- same as that window tint- its not allowed- ooops I am sorry

 

lol

 

yes they are very much so.....

 

I'm pretty sure new cars don't come with anything but 4300k. The projectors make them seem blue and a bunch of other colors in the spectrum. HIDs or Halogens, the DOT states any blue lighting in the front of a non-official vehicle are illegal. All HID kits and bulbs with higher Kelvin ratings state off-road use only.

 

There are actual color laws even new cars come w/4300. Projectors can give an appearance that the light is blue but the beam is actually 4300k.

Howerver, cops don't carry around spectrometers either, so unless you are running 8000k or more, you will likely have NO problems.

 

very illegal...dont you hate restriction on your cars? Tints, HIDs, Exhaust, Drops....It is insane! What's next?!

 

FORUMS!

 

Please stop saying tints. It's tint not tints!!

 

 

I agree. 6000k is the highest I would go and expect few problems. I run 6000ks now, but am in the process of a projector retrofit for the best combo in output and looks.

 

yeah those blue once are WAY TO UGLY... i wouldnt go more than 8000k

 

Cool man, I am heading that route too, i believe, depending on a few variables.

 

No problem professor Gfaze

 

6000K looks blue compared to the 3500 K halogens but if you were to put actual blue lights (especially LEDs) next to 6000K HIDs they would look white by comparison.

Cops can ticket you for the 10000K and up stuff but anything lower is fine, although 8000 is pushing it. As long as you don't have blue emergency lights; impersonating a cop has some serious fines and jail time. Also, if you're on the east coast, red emergency lights are reserved for police. In general, blue and/or red is bad to have anywhere on the front of a vehicle.
