Hid

[h3nno]

Can you put a 12000K globe in to a 6000K ballast? Or vice versa? If so what what results should you expect?

[kyzz]

Pretty sure if you put the 12000K globe into the 6000k ballast it would only push 6000K power through the hid, or it wont work at all. Would most likely be the same as a 6000K, but isnt anything over 8000K illegal?

You'll get stupid 12000K purple glare. Please have some consideration for other drivers on the road.

^^ i know right.. i find 8000k is too much already.. imagine 12000k..

[dc2r-0636]

6000k is best over all imo

[mikul]

6000k is best over all imo

yepp like dc2r-0636 said. 6000k is the best. why go for 12000k and put urself out there to give a reason for cops to pull u over lol.

[dc2r-0636]

HID's are no problem when properly adjusted.

No such thing as a 6000k ballast fool! Ballasts don't determine colour temperature

[mugen_ctr]

Think of the ballast as a amplifier... It doesnt matter what bulb you put in, the power will still be the same

The 6000k, 8000k etc etc is just the bulb temp as pointed out, even though ur eyes might see 8000k stronger than 6000k, in reality there both use the same power an create the same amount of lighting

[curtis265]

^this guy is right. The power output is still the same, the colour rating has nothing to do with the amount of colour

They're all illegal.

[azn_k3nt]

Hids are all illegal LOL my hids is 8,000k and i adjust the globe to like '2' on the adjusting button near the driver seat

[Lukey]

HID's are no problem when properly adjusted.

but how many people actually do it properly for cars that dont come with them standard? 0.1%?

[type_AHH]

They are technically illegal if the car didn't come with them from the factory, particularly if the car does not have projectors etc

thats out of our control. theyre not as bad as people who drive with high beams in traffic..

[Lukey]

standard lights on any stock car blind me, hids are about 10x worse

my current car has HID as stock from factory and doesn't have projectors, is that considered illegal?

my old eg used 6000K HID and i always made sure to point it as low as possible...never had any issues with cops when they randomly pulled me over at nights...rarely had issues with oncoming traffic either (unless the car is pointed climbing up)

[dc2r-0636]

i get that when i havnt had much sleep. got these eye drops now theyre better.

Man i thought I was the one with this eye issue. Espically those 4wds with HID that arn't even adjusted, makes me actually stop the car till they drive past, gay :(

[Lukey]

i get it cos my cars low. lol

[dc2r-0636]

yeh me too, bc racing ftw lol

[Lukey]

u fix the problem of ur front tyres getting mauled?

[dc2r-0636]

Me ? How did u know lol ?

[Lukey]

yea you, you posted bout it in the teg forum, i asked if u worked a solution but dunno if u replied, mines not doing it yet tho :briggin:

[dc2r-0636]

cant remember lol.

it scrubs on the inside on bumpy corners when im going quick, and on 85% to 100% full lock. honda turning circle sucks as it is.
i got 3mm spacers all around. helped a bit but still there

[Lukey]

i thought it was the pinched bit of metal thats directly above the tread of the tyre u were having problems with?

[dc2r-0636]

You are thinking of " Anzai" lol he made a thread bout it

[Lukey]

ohhh right, haha.

[madmott]

theirs no such thing as a 6000k ballast , but 12000k bulbs are stupid, get some pretty 6000k bulbs look sweet and wont get you into trouble

Why are you repeating what I'm saying
