h4 is the "size" of ur bulb. h4 means, u can only fit h4 bulbs in ur civic. there are different sizes, llike h4, hb4, h3, h1 etc.
phillips seems to make alright bulbs, from my experience. last quite a while, and light output if pretty good. depending on which model you have, will depend on the color etc.
phillips make bluevision, diamond vision, crystal vision etc.
light output (how bright it is) standard bulbs...even those that say "HID" are no where near as bright as the HID kits...
all these 4300K, 5000K, 6000K ....they are colour output readings based on the light spectrum..
4300K is closer to pure white....then about 6000K is bluish, 8000K is starting to get purple...
Correct......otherwise known as the the colour temprature of the light (ask any serious photographer)
No, this is just the power used to ignite the gas. It is the gas arc that creates the light. So less power, more light.
One of the significant factors of HID lamps over conventional globes is that they are more efficient at converting electricity to light. Hence why 35W HID globes create more light than their 55W counterparts that are found in normal production cars.
anyone knows wat dc2R uses? which globes?..and you reckon anypoint in me getting a HID kit?
the 98 JDM itr comes wid stock HID's
n get em if u got 600-700 bukz to spare... they will increase night visiblity and give u that 'look' (with the bright bluish/white/purplish light)...
but if the colour temp is too high .. u'll get defected :S
