does anyone have 3000k HID bulbs in their low beam headlight projectors? I was wondering if this would look good. post pics if you have some. Thanks!

 

dont do this. you wont be able to see shit. seen a truck with 3k fogs and 3k low beams. looked retarded. but than again, i'm the type of person that hates people that put 6K+ hids on their cars for the gay purple tint. blue is retarded too, HEADLIGHTS IS FOR VISIBILITY

 

6000k is perfectly visible. Its not purple at all. Its more of a pure white. 5000k has a hint of yellow in it n i hate it. 10000k is just retarded and basically serves the same purpose as having no headlights on. I think 3000k should be left for the civics lol but everyone has their own opinions.

 

Depends on the brand of bulbs. The color isn't consistent with eery bulb, some 6000k are blue some are white and some are purple.

I have OEM Osram 66240 CBI 5000k in my headlights now and they're pure white.

 

X2. You're my hero!

 

Visibility with 3000K is definitely better than visibility with 8000K+, though.

To be honest, I'd leave the 3000K look in the fogs. Then again there's a Euro style/racing style with yellow tint on the headlights/yellow lighting.

Technically and theoretically, 4300K to 6000K should be the temperatures used for low beams with more usable lumens than the bluer bulbs, with 4300K as OEM, 5000K being pure white, and 6000K mostly white with a hint of blue in it. By OEM specs, it should stick to that for the most part. Just depends on how the salts react.

Aftermarket bulbs WILL vary real easily in regards to color ratings, life span, and overall quality.

 

We don't have low beam headlamps, or high beam lamps for that matter, in out TL's.

Just curious. Why would you want 3000k HID lamps for headlamps? Not a flame.... just curious.

 

how dont we have low beam or high beams in our cars? im pretty sure we do lol. Im not for sure im going to put 3000ks in i was jw if anyone has done it and what it would look like. I think it would look different than the usual "blue" look and also and might end up looking good. just curious

 

I think he's refering to that we don't have designated HI beam or Low beam lights. we have one projector "Bi-xenon" which has both Hi and Low intergrated within the projector.

Are you thinking of puting 3000k into your intergrated foglights or within your projectors?

 

i was wondering how it would look with the high/low projector

 

just found these pictures of an audi running 3000k hids in his low beam projectors. not bad

 

HID lamps do not use a filaments to generate light; they use a combination of a gas and metal salts which when charged with an electrical current, excite enough to produce light.

The high and low beam effect is caused by a mechanically controlled flap which cuts off or allow light to emit depending upon the flats position.
