6000k or 8000k for high beam?

[adzski]

hey guys,

cant decide weather to get 6000k or 8000k for high beam?
was reading and most people said 6000k is better for visibility and 8000k is more blue and cant see as much as a result.

i already have 6000k, in lowbeam which i just put in tonight, which is great, also have 6000k in my fogs.

im kinda thinking 6000k but not sure?

cheers

Stick with 6000k I reckon. 8000k doesn't make it look better, and will just decrease visibility while increasing unwanted attention.

[adzski]

yeah i think your right nighthawk, was looking at you-tube vids, and 6000k looked a lot clearer, 8000k is to blue!

I got 5000k and its still blue

in high beam?

I had 10000k for my FTO, that was way too blue. No idea why I never changed it haha

4,300 apparently is the best for visibility and light output.

wow 10000k is crazy would of been purple hahaha

i suppose 5,300k isnt to far from 6000k, so visibility should be ok

[Vectose]

4300k is pure white and what the factory FTO HID's are.

[silverGPX]

When you look at the bulb of 5300k its blue but the beam is pretty much white

And in low beam

And im pretty sure all these hids r illegal except 4300k anything about u can get pinned for.
I had 8000k low beams and where sh*t so I went to a 6000k and way better but also look at the watts this helps a lot

Sorry I meant 4,300 not 5,300

HID's are a bad idea for high beams.
And as mentioned previously, 4300K is the highest legal limit while giving you good light output and visibility. Go beyond 4300K and you lose visibility to gain hektik factor.
