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..Quote:

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

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
^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.Quote:

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

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

yeh me too, bc racing ftw lol
u fix the problem of ur front tyres getting mauled?
Me ? How did u know lol ?
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:
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
i thought it was the pinched bit of metal thats directly above the tread of the tyre u were having problems with?
You are thinking of " Anzai" lol he made a thread bout it
ohhh right, haha.
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 sayingQuote:
