Just wanna confirm are the low beam standard hid globes hb4? I got 8000k hid foglight kit installed and wanna match the low beams. The 8000k foggies make the standard hid low beam look dull now cause they are so blue.
Also where can I get halogen low beam bulbs from? And do guys recommend 6000k?
standard EURO is H1 for low beam
I got told h1 is the high beam globe and hb4 is the low beam or normal headlight globe
it's definitely H1... i've got aftermarket HID's in my car as well
Is this for a Luxury Euro? If that is the case you are after D2S.
Yeah it's luxury euro so comes factory with hid low beams. So don't think h1. I'm getting mixed responses.
What I basically wanna know is Can I get 6000k globes for my low beam? It's already got hid's factory for low beam. I just need to change the globes right ?
if you have the luxury version you should purchase D2S bulbs i'm pretty sure you can purchase 6000k D2S on ebay or somethingQuote:

Thanks for the help guys. Just to confirm if I do get different temp bulbs the stock ballast on the euro lux low beam will support it?
Do you guys agree that 6000k low beams will go well with my 8000k foggies? 6000k will be slightly whiter than the foggies. Or should I go 8000k low beams as well?
^ stock ballast will be able to handle the different temp of 6000k
if you do go with 6000k it will be different to 8000k as 8000k really does look blue and 6000k is white. I would not suggest going down 8000k for the low beam as the higher you go up in temp the less visibilty you will get.
What temp are the stock HID in luxury euro?
The 8000K foggies i installed make the stock low beams look dull. What temp do you recommend if the 8000k doesn't illuminate as much, that is the closest match to the 8000k foggies?
4300k.I wouldn't go any higher than 6000k.Quote:

I agree with the others, if you do want a whiter light output than stock 4300k stick to 6000k, if you want it to match then change your foggies also to 6000k as you will notice the difference in 8000k and 6000k
Ok so everyone agrees I shouldn't go higher than 6000k for low beam. I guess that will closer match my 8000k foggies than the stock 4300k
guys... sorry to bring this back from the dead..
There are so many fakes, where can I get it from?
OEM @ $250 is abit steep.
i bought mine direct from phillips, $235 per globe (cost price) lol... dunno why but i dont trust ebay phillips globesQuote:

my phillips are 6000k and are the whitest white ive seen so far, but what you pay is what you get i guess
sorry but anyone with 8000k or higher HIDs...well then straight out youre a ricer

those are mine
I have a 6000k kit installed in my lux CL9 for my fog lights, and just bought bulbs to straight swap the stock ones (D2S 6000K) they set you back around $20 or so on ebay and aroun 70-100 for the HID total kit for the fog lights.
Honda swapped mine for free, so try your luck with them haha :D
