I have been trying to figure out if i need a whole new balast if i want to go brighter on my HIDs or if i can just use my stock balast? i am trying to get 10,000k HIDs

 

First thing's first. Are you sure you want to go to 10000k? You will get a LOT less light output than if you stick with 4300k or 5000k.

I and probably everyone else here will say don't go for the 10000k but if it is what you really want, it is your choice.

As far as needing a new ballast... I don't believe so.

 

The K rating is not the level of light output... it's the color temperature. Anything above 4300K and you start losing lumens.

 

^^^i have 5k in mine and I think it shows more light than the stock 4300k. Anything after 8k is you'll be losing light and more for show

 

as stated, going to a higher kelvin will not increase brightness.

 

Stick with 4300k- 5000k
Stock light output is pure white. And thd Phillips bulbs or sylvania bulbs I would only buy.




6000k you get a slight blue tint- and 8-10000k
You get a purple tint




If anyone needs Phillips - 4300-4600k
Hid bulbs I have a pair I am willing to sell them.

$90 a pair
Or $58 each

IM ME IF INTERESTED.

 

Are you trying to open a nightclub in your garage and use the headlights as black-lights?

The highest I would go is 6000k.

 

do i got to change the Ballast tho?

 

just plug in your girlie purple bulbs, and voila!

 

Please tell me you didn't buy the 10000k bulbs yet. It would be advantageous and safer to get 4300k (you will be able to see more)

 

i have not bought them yet

 

are you replacing ur headlights or fogs?

if you like 10,000k for the color why not do your fogs that. If you change ur headlights with 10k u won't be able to see as much. Good luck

 

That's pretty funny!
I'm about to order new bulbs, and I think I'm gonna go with 5000 K.
