After researching characterstics and temperatures of our as well other HID's I decided to go with a nice pair of 6000k's. Except, now I questioning my purchase, well at least this set of bulbs. They were so cheap compared to others that I couldn't resist myself.


Anyhow, are all hid bulbs the same, meaning color wise? Is the $200 set of 6000k's the same as the $50 one? I understand the life span might be little different, depending on how well its made but truly where is the major difference. If there is one, I truly don't mind since the total was under $40 with shipping

 

That's what I did when I got my 8000k HID bulbs. I got the cheapo ones. They were crazy blue for about a week and now they look like 6000k. If you want to have 6000k headlights that stay that way for the time they are in the headlights, get the expensive ones to make sure. Just my

 

I agree..I'll post pics after I put them in to show how $40 bulbs actually look.

 

i love my 16 dollar ebay bulbs. going strong after a year

 

thanks, that gives me hope I will actually like these

 

I had eBay HIDs too. Lasted for about six months then one of the bulbs refused to burn. They looked nice though...

 

I have high hopes already...NOT

 

Kaixens are $100 and they are quality bulbs that will last

Best bang for your buck

Buy them from Excelerate

Yeah I already saw thay thread and that's what Im going to have to do if these cheapos blow out within the first couple days.

 

I agree, I have these in 6000k and love them

 

When you install your HIDs you should bake your headlights too while your at.

 

Put in a replica ZKW lens, don't buy cheap bulbs they color-shift very often. I have had 2 pair of cheapos-- the first was OK and the second pair shifted to blue green color. The base melted and distorted a little so it sits off center and makes the cutoff concave. IMO it is not worth it. Then again the first pair in mazda3 is going strong.

 

bake?

 

baking your headlamps in your oven at 200-220[to melt the glue] to get inside to replace the lens and the orange reflector.

Yeah clear them out or black them out.
