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

    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.

    A true car enthusiast appreciates the time, effort and money put into ANY sort of car, modified in ANY sort of style, whether they may like it or not.

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

    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

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