**Vtec_inside** · 19-07-2005 06:26 AM

Looking at getting a conversion kit for my euro tossing up between 6000k or 8000k color hid.

Just wondering if anyone has pic of euro with 8000k hid kit or 6000k, want some opnion and advice. anyone who is knows somethign plse feel free to share with me.

6000k white

8000k blue

which is better?

um,,, its hard to do comparison pic by pic unless the two kits are produced by the same company. here is the rough estimation:

6000k: will be close to factory 4300k they are equipped on euro lux and they have white light output.

8000k: will be more blueish colour on the output, BUT, will loss a bit of light when compare to the 6000k.

so it is your choice to see that if you are willing to give up some lights for the blueish colour

as you said it will go on to the euro, coz euro has the projector headlight, i'd suggest you go for the 6000k coz the reflection of the projector isa already giving you some blue from certain angles

6000K will lean towards blue already as 4000K is defined as the whitest. With 8000K going blue, cops might have an attraction towards your car. Is your car the standard or luxury model, if it's the standard model, it will be illegal as it doesn't have the washers and you won't want to risk a cop stopping you for your bluish lights and finding out that it hasn't got the headlight washers....

I'd go 6000K on the safe side...

Go 7000k right in the middle. I have 7000k, it's very white with a bluish tinge...

But if I was you I'd go 6000k. 8000k is too blue for my liking bordering on rice..

I still think 4300K would be the best cos it looks like factory HID's and less of a ricy feel. 6000K would be the max I would go as anything higher would just be too blue and actually reduce the amount of light (in lumens) outputted.

Has anyone put HID in a standard? DIY with a kit. Is it hard to install? Cos i'm thinking of getting some.

"man Euro lights are nice, but they blind da hell outta every1.. oncoming and up ur ass"

I second that opinion!!!! Since fitting the 8000k HIDS i get high beamed at least once every night out. People think i have high beams on. Popular amongst enthusiats. Even quite a fashion statement (if you can call it that) , but to the daily driver i reckon i have been cursed a billion times. Each to their own i think. I KNOW I'D RATHER BE SEEN, than getting run into.

cheersss

i have 8000k kit on my family's MDX and it appears to be okay with polices

well the first thing u need to do after installed the kit is to leveling ur headlight to the right height. so u have a nice light output without blinging on coming trafiic"D

**EuroAccord13** · 20-07-2005 07:12 PM

IT is ok with the police as long as it comes standard with the car which I believe that the MDX has... Jamchen, was the HID standard on the MDX?

THANKS!
