Remember the higher the kelvins the dimmer the light is. Its not what kelvin you have that causes accidents, its the glare!

You will be pulled over sooner rather than later if you go for anything over 6000k.

your choice, but IMO it defeats the whole purpose of getting HID's

Do not do anything over 6K...You will be pulled over in no time...6K should be plenty in comparison to what you are running now..Make sure you have a good battery..Even though they are using 35W they have massive capacitors (HID) that have to charge up b4 the lights light up...

you should be right with the cops.
6000k is factory, 8000k is the same just with a blue tinge. 6000k is the brightest because it is pure white. as said earlier, its the colour temerature not the brightness. go for 8000k u'll be right.

OEM, factory hids are 4300K, anything above that and you are giving out less light.

hey guys.

pretty determined to get HIDs as i've already ordered an ebay angel eyes kit.

just wanted public opinion on what goes better with the chrome backing on the headlights. the 6000k or the 8000k.

also, all HID kits universal for accords?

Plug 'N' Play kits when placed into a Halogen Project / Reflector housing produce horrible glare and poor beam patterns.....thus why people with the kits get flashed often...

My opinion...If your going to do it...do it properly....and either Buy a car with OEM HID's or Retrofit your headlight housings with HID Projectors...like I have....for a nice Blue Cutoff and Perfect Beam pattern...

Also DO NOT BUY above 6000K, not only the higher the colour temperature you loose lumens (brightness) you also loose a great amount of visability in wet conditions...

Just buy legal 4000K Phillips/Osram Halogens (matched to OEM ratings) you get good quality, optimal beam pattern, everythings legal and your aren't selfishly blinding everyone on the road.

Just My $0.02.

hey guys,
just a quick update on these

i am trying to get my accord on the back of the road, and speaking to my mechanic he said that vicroads will be targeting HID kits because when you put aftermarket headlights on the actual socket for the bulb is plastic! and the heat of a xenon globe may melt the housing!

there's more to it but that was the main factor for me because i have angel eyes on my accord and now looking for SIR's loll

hope this helps!

+1 never had any problems with cops, just with other drivers on the road,

hence im swapping to crystal vision to give them a go.

Can't be the selfish guy blinding everyone :P

I am getting my HID kit tomorrow...will fit it over the coming weekend and post some pics... I do have projectors and should not have issues as I already have a nice straight cut off line...hoping it will work fine....

wouldnt worry about not being able to see :p
